C G
So I’m sitting here with ghosts again some are women mostly men
Dm F
Telling me of times they have had
C
And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground
G
How and where I’m gonna lay myself down
Am F G
and still die at 27 like we planned
Dm F
Then she saw the look in my eyes
F G
And began to sing a song I won’t describe
Dm
“In another life we’ll be king and queen you and I”
F G C
Then she told me devil don’t cry
Am Dm
Devil don’t cry, don’t cry
F E
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
Am
But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”
F G Am
And she told me devil don’t cry
Am Dm F G Am
At least not tonight
C
And I’m sitting alone again
G
All my friends are with their friends
Dm F
Thinking of times I have had
C
And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground
G
How and where I’m gonna lay myself down
Am F G
and I find a knife in my hand
Dm F
Then she saw the look in my eyes
F G
And began to sing a song I won’t describe
Dm
“In another life we’ll be king and queen you and I”
F G C
Then she told me devil don’t cry
Am Dm
Devil don’t cry, don’t cry
F E
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
Am
But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”
F G Am
Then she told me devil don’t cry (x2)
Am
At least not tonight
G F G
Tonight lets pretend I’m a man
Am G D F
And you’re a woman and we’re human just bones and this skin
Am G F G
And I’ll pretend that your touch makes everything right
F E
If you pretend you’re not nervous that I’ve taken lives
Am Dm
Devil don’t cry, don’t cry
F E
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
Am
But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”
F G Am
And she told me devil don’t cry
