[N]
[Am] [D] [A]
Go [C] on girl, take [Am] your chances, see [D] how long you can go on from man to [G] man.
I [E] can read the lines between your [Am] stolen glances, and [D] I know it's time to fold [A] this [G] losing hand.
Cause [Cm] you're drawn [G] to the flame by the [C] thrill and [G] the shame of [Cm] the cheating game they [Fm] taught
you how [G] to play.
You've [Cm] got nothing to [E]
lose but your [Am] soul girl, [F]
and [C] you've only the [G] devil to [Am] pay.
[A]
[G] You've been flying so high, you don't know that you're flying to the [C] right on the wall.
But [D] someday
[G] you'll look [D]
down and you'll find you've got no place [G] to fall.
When [C] the bright lights [G] are gone,
you'll be standing alone, [C] forsaken in the [F] naked light [G] of day.
[C] Then you'll know that [A] it's [E] all over
but the [Am] dying, [F]
[C] and you've still got [G] the devil to [D] pay.
[A]
[Am]
Join [C] your friends while you've got [Am] them,
cause you know [Dm] they're getting fewer every [G] day.
You [E] can't wait to let them take [D] you to [Am] the bottom,
and [D] I'm getting tired of standing in [G] your way.
But when [E] you hit [G] the ground, don't [C] come looking [G]
around,
or the pieces of the [F] love you threw [G] away, that's [Cm] the price of the [E] high life [Am] you're living, [F]
and [C] you've
still got the [G] devil [Am] to pay.
[G] [Am]
[G] You've been flying so high, you don't know that you're flying to [F] the right
[C]
on the wall.
But [D] someday you'll look down [A] and you'll find [D] you've got no [G] place to fall.
When [C] the bright
[G] lights are gone, you'll [Cm] be standing [G] alone, [C] forsaken in [F] the naked light [G] of day.
Then [C] you'll know that
it's [E] all over but the [Am] dying, [F]
and [C] you've still got [G] the devil [Am] to pay.
