[G] Love me now while we're alive, it's the best thing we can do.
We'll have no time upon cloud nine, [D] so heaven on earth will have to do.
[G] I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon [D] and I do it all [G] so well,
cause I made a deal with the devil and when I die, [D] I'm [G] going straight to hell.
Standing at the crossroad, he [C] offered wine, [G] women and song.
[C] A [F#m] riches, fame [Gm] and fortune, in [A] my hands from that [B] day on.
[G] I was granted there and then [C] a life of rock and [Gm] roll.
And [C] it seemed like such a [G] bargain, for [A] just one eternal [D] soul.
[C] I know I've hearst this damn [G] decision and I'll regret it till the moment I fall.
But [A] I'll be making the most of a bad situation [D] until my numbers go.

[E] Oh yeah, [C] I'm [D] going straight [G] to hell.
Best times I swear I've come out on top [C] in this ill-conceived [G]
contract.
And [C] there's nights I say [G] it's a small price to pay [A] for the life and times [D] I've had.
[G] And I think, here's to the gentlemen ladies and [C] all the foolish times [G] we spent.
They cost [C] me [G] afterlife and paradise and they [A] were worth every single [D] cent.
[C] So have a dance with the walking dam [G] before my time is done.
Cause [A] the deal is a deal and I don't [D] expect fire and brimstone will be [A] much fun.

[D] [G]
have every expectation that my [D] final prayer will go [G] unheard.
And [D] my veiled, death-fed [G] confession will [A] not move [D] the mighty lord.
And [G] I'm sure that I'll be sorry for when [C] he slams St.
[G] Peter's gate.
But [C] I'll dive right in to [G] [D] damnation with a smile across my face.
