Audience With The Devil

Am
I was granted an audience in the 
devils maze,

C
I sat by his throne and we talked 
for days,

F
He told me about his ancient battles
 with arch-angels,

C
He told me loneliness was the 
torture most painful,

A
He said if I filled my lifetime with
 sin,

Em
I could earn myself a seat that was 
right by him,

G
And if I didn't, that was fine by 
him,

D
Cos everyday a million souls just 
fly right in,

Am
He could barely keep up with the 
souls of all the people,

C
It's not easy being sole controller 
of all evil,

F
He said “Too many people want to 
burn with me,

C
I swear free wills a bitch and so's 
eternity,


A
So what you learn from me might save
 you from suffering,

Em
You don't want to see the bowels of 
the earth rupturing,

G
Take a breath, suck it in, I got 
more to tell,

D
And time's of no consequence when 
you're in hell.”

A
I had a lot a questions;

Em
I asked the devil to explain

C
Why I always think that people have 
it in for me?

F
And why I always feel like the sky's
 closing in on me?

G
This is what he said,

C
“The sky's not falling it's just 
angels committing suicide,

F
Cos they're so saddened by humans 
using genocide,

C
As a political tool, considering all
 you humans have,

F
The way you act belittles you all,

C
Now hell is so full that we started 
expanding,

A
Damnation is a business and the 
markets demanding.”

Em
I asked him if the city streets 
buckled and cracked,

G
And hell rose to earth then would 
heaven collapse?

D
He smiled; I knew that smile was his
 response,

Am
I thought to myself, he's almost got
 what he wants,

C
He said “I'll tell you my one 
desire,

F
That's for earth itself to become my
 empire,

C
Every politicians like a gun for 
hire.

A
Even the church of nativity's come 
under fire,

Em
So you can tell I'm getting close to
 my goal,

G
Of creating a world where I can 
torture every soul.”

D
Sitting with the devil, this is what
 I learned,

A
Apart from the ways a human soul can
 be burned,

Em
It's that though we learn from our 
mistakes we're condemned,

G
To make those same mistakes again 
and again,

D
Sitting with the devil, this is what
 I learned,

A
Apart from the ways a human soul can
 be burned,

Em
It's that though we learn from our 
mistakes we're condemned,

G
To make those same mistakes

D
again and again,
again and again,

A
again and again,
again and again.

Em
And Time keeps, time keeps slipping 
away,

A
Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

Em
My time keeps, time keeps slipping 
away,

A
Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

G
My time keeps, time keeps slipping 
away,

D
Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

Em
My time keeps, time keeps slipping 
away,

A
Like I keep, Like I keep -

G                          
I keep slipping away, I keep 
          D
slipping away...
