[Verse Riff 2] [Verse Outro 2] I dug a hole so deep, I'm gonna drown in my mistakes Can't even sell my soul, [Pre-chorus] 'cause it ain't worth shit to take [Transition 1] I've got the Devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) [Chorus 1] X3 I've got the Devil on my shoulder [Chorus 2] (over and over) [Transition 2] [Intro Riff 1] [Intro Riff 2] Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens [Verse Riff 1] X2 [Verse Outro 1] X2 I found the key to life, the lock was broken [Verse Riff 2] [Verse Outro 1] All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken [Verse Riff 2] [Verse Outro 2] I dug a hole so deep, I'm gonna drown in my mistakes Can't even sell my soul, [Pre-chorus] 'cause it ain't worth shit to take [Transition 1] I've got the Devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) [Chorus 1] X3 I've got the Devil on my shoulder [Chorus 2] (over and over) [Transition 1] [Guitar Solo] My horror story, is nearly over [Breakdown 1] I said I'm sorry, but I was sober I beg for mercy, from my infernal friend The one that drives the nails, into my coffin [Breakdown 2] X3 [Bass Line] I've got the Devi on my shoulder (over and over) [Chorus 1] And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) [Chorus 2] They've come to take me, take me over (over and over) [Mid-Finale Riff] I've got the Devil on my shoulder [Chorus 2] (over and over) [Transition 2]
