The Devil Looks After His Own

G  Em  A  Bm  A


[Verse 1]
G
Love is better
            Em         A    Bm   
When you're blind and you can't 
            A
see the cracks
          G
I was the number one contender
        Em      A     Bm         
Now my bitter tears won't leave 
       A
no tracks


G  Em  A  Bm  A

 G
Nothing lasts forever
           Em              A      
We used to paint this town red - 
    Bm                A
now all I see is black
           G
I know you think you're doing better
        Em            A           
But the winner of the rat race is 
Bm         A
still a rat


[Chorus]
         C
Oh, am I speaking in tongues?
       Em
Have I got it all wrong?
             G
With you and me
        D/F#
You and me
          C
The devil cares for his own
             Em
So there's a place for us both
        Dsus4  D
You and me
        Dsus4  D
You and me


G  Em  A  Bm  A


[Verse 2]
        G
I see a vapour trail above me

           Em           A        
I know the next move's mine and 
Bm                  A
the odds are stacked
           G
If I could tell you my story
         Em             A  
It would only make you doubt 
       Bm             A
everything we ever had


[Chorus 2]
         C
Oh, am I speaking in tongues?
       Em
Have I got it all wrong?
             G
With you and me
        D/F#
You and me
          C
The devil cares for his own
             Em
So there's a place for us both
        Dsus4  D
You and me,
        Dsus4  D
You and me
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
             Dsus4    D
Feels like a wrecking ball
  Dsus4    D
A wrecking ball
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
            G
You'll learn


[Bridge]
G  Em  Bm  A

G              Em
Is it all for nothing?
               Bm       A
Is it all for nothing?
G              Em
Is it all for nothing?
               Bm
Is it all for nothing?
                            A     G
The web you weave unravels itself
              Em
It's all for nothing
              Bm
It's all for nothing


[Chorus 3]
         C
Oh, am I speaking in tongues?
       Em
Have I got it all wrong?
             Dsus4  D
With you and me
        Dsus4   D
You and me
          C
The devil cares for his own
             Em
So there's a place for us both
        Dsus4   D
You and me,
        Dsus4   D
You and me
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
             Dsus4     D
Feels like a wrecking ball
   Dsus4    D
A wrecking ball
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
            G
You'll learn

It's all for nothing

It's all for nothing
    A                            G
The web you weave unravels itself
