Devil Song

Em                     D
When the devil comes blowing through your door
You'll know there's trouble, and he's coming back for more
You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor
Or you better treat it so good it'll never want for more
But looking back in retrospect
Did you ever really get what you'd expect?
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
You've been trying to justify
Find a home where it came
Devil was your angel, but it's not no more
The devil was your angel, when you weren't sure
Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors
Just to put a face to a voice which sure is hoarse?
To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor
If I could treat it so good, I swear I'd never want for more
But when I found my peace
There was still mistakes
However painfully aware in every step I take
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further
Well, I've been trying to justify
Find a home where it came
The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure.
Trouble as my angel -there's always more
Gonna take it back down
I won't feel no shame
Till my dreams
Are my own again
Gonna take you right down, and I'll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own again
Here I am again
Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
Trouble as my angel - there's always more
Remember you're an angel, try to remember you're an angel
Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure

E         Ema7
You lose it just to find it
A1
And as you walk right by it
E         Ema7
You forget how you got there
A1 
And why you never meant to stay
E         
And I won’t watch you waste away
A1
And I won’t fake another day
E 
And if one truth leads you to five
A1                     E
I still don’t believe in your reasons why
Ema7         A1         A2
I just don’t believe in why

E Ema7
You love her you need her
A1 A2
To feel is to believe her 
E Ema7
You know it you want it
A1 A2
You just can’t believe you’ve got it
E
And I can’t watch you waste away
A1
But I won’t beg you still to stay
E
And if one truth leads you to five
A1 E
I still don’t believe in your reasons why
Ema7 A1
I just don’t believe in why, just don’t believe in why

Not a single day

Not a single day

E Ema7
If I lose you could you find me
A1 A2
Or would you walk right by me
E Ema7
The soul and the spirit 
A1 
Each have got their own limit
E
And I can’t waste another second
A1
Living in hell like it’s some kind of heaven
E
And if one truth leads to another
A1 E 
Then isn’t there one I can uncover
Ema7 A1 E
There isn’t one that I will not discover
A1
It’s the right time, it’s my time

It’s the right time, it’s my time

It’s my time to discover
E
And I won’t waste a single second
A1
Living in hell as an idea of heaven 
E
And if one truth leads you to five
A1 E
I still don’t believe in your reasons why
Ema7 A1 A2

E
And if one truth leads to another 
A1 E
Isn’t there one we can uncover
Ema7 A1 E
There isn’t one that we cannot discover
E A1
It’s the right time, it’s our time 
E
It’s our time to discover
