The Devil

Em Bm D A

[Verse]
Em                  Bm
We found him by the roadside
        D               A
Nothing to him but his name
Em                  Bm
He struggled to his feet
                   D
Withered from the heat
               A
Cussin’ at the street
Em                 Bm                   D            A
“I don’t want your help, I just want to know where I am.”
Em                    Bm
Then he slowly looked around
               D
Recognized the town
                  A
Then he laid back down

[Chrous]
Bm                   Em              G         D       A
If you think I’m the devil it’s only because I live in hell
Continues after the ad
Bm                   Em              G             D         A
If you’re looking for trouble you found it because I live in hell

[Verse]
Em                       Bm
When she walked into the courthouse
             D                     A
The blood on her blouse was still wet
Em                        Bm
They took one look at her face
               D
Certain of the case
              A
A horrible disgrace
Em                  Bm                   D            A
“I don’t want your mercy, I want you to know why I’m here.”

Em                        Bm
Then she told them of the pain
                D
The horrible refrain
               A
Of a life in chains

[Chrous]
Bm                   Em              G         D       A
If you think I’m the devil it’s only because I live in hell
Bm                   Em              G             D         A
If you’re looking for trouble you found it because I live in hell
Em                                 G
Now I’m standing right in front of you
Em                       Bm
And the only thing I can pursue
G                   Bm                 A
Is to show you that I’m not what you think I am

Bm                       Em                G        D      A
So if you think I’m the devil it’s only because I live in hell
Bm                       Em                  G         D      A
If you’re looking for trouble you found it because I live in hell
