     D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1)  G7With (320001@1)eyes as dark as her hair
    C (x32010@1)                               C7And (x32310@1)as I was searching from bottle to bottle

Chorus:

F (133211@1)                                              C (x32010@1)I said hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil
        F (133211@1)                    C (x32010@1)       He's everything that I ain't
        F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1)  Am (x02210@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D                    G (320003@1)   
        Hiding intentions of evil,   under the smile of a saint
                 F (133211@1)                    C (x32010@1)       All he's good for is getting in trouble
            F (133211@1)                       C (x32010@1)       And shifting his share of the blame
        F (133211@1)                       C (x32010@1)       Some people swear he's my double
            D (xx0232@1)                     G (320003@1)  
        And some even say we're the same
                F (133211@1)                        C (x32010@1)       But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
        F (133211@1)                    C (x32010@1)       I'll only live 'till I die
           F (133211@1)                         C (x32010@1)         Am (x02210@1)       We take our own chances, we'll pay our own dues  [pause}

        The silver tongued devil and I

C (x32010@1)			     C7Like (x32310@1)all the young maidens who'd laid down beside him
    F (133211@1)                         C (x32010@1)      
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
    F (133211@1)                       C (x32010@1)             Am (x02210@1) 
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
   D (xx0232@1)                    G (320003@1)   G7 (320001@1)No matter how hard that I tried
              C (x32010@1)                              C7 (x32310@1)      
'Cause she'll offer charms to the darkness and danger
   F (133211@1)                        C (x32010@1)Of something that she's never known
    F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1)        Am (x02210@1)And open her arms to the smile of a stranger
       G (320003@1)          G7 (320001@1)      CWho'll (x32010@1)love her and leave her alone

Chorus:       
                F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)And you know, he's the devil
