INTRO

D (RIFF) G  x2




           D

The devil owns a hill in my town

           G

Pulls you fast as you're riding down

               Bm                                       D

And at the bottom there's a cop in a church parking lot

         D

I got stopped and wondered why

       G

My surroundings can't choose sides

          Bm                                  A

But I can't rightly get mad 'cos neither can I

            Bm

Neither can I

   G

I...

D

I can't choose sides




D (RIFF) G    x2




        D

Lately I've been getting bruised

           G

By love I can't afford to lose

            Bm                                                    D

And I can't say that I like it, but what else am I supposed to do?

                   D

I've learned this trick, you hand me a noose

             G

And I will craft you an excuse

               Bm                                  A

And I'll deliver it direct to the tip of your tongue

                     Bm

In place of "I'm sorry"

          A

"I'm sorry"

D

Let's not say it if nobody is




D (RIFF) G x4

Bm A G G




              D

Driving last week we nearly died

              G

And nothing flashed before my eyes

          Bm                                        A

But I think I spilled something on your leather seats

                    Bm

And I'm sorry about that

                G

I'm sorry about that

D

I'll pay for it.



D (RIFF) G
