As with every song I post, this is best played as rhythm, which is why I say its the
"acoustic" version. I play rhythm, and this sounds great if you get the strumming down.
These ARE the proper chords though, Ollie told me himself on Twitter quite some time
ago, haha. Anyways, if you can get the strumming pattern down, which is pretty easy, and you've
got a strong low range, this is a great one to belt out and relieve some stress! Enjoy!
Capo 4!

Note: I like to alternate between the 1-3-3-2-1-1 and x-x-3-2-1-1 fingerings of F, using
the latter for the verses and the barred variation for the chorus. Changes it up a bit,
but just a personal preference.
Intro - Am-G-F-G (hit the "ooh"s in the high falsetto if you can!)
Am G
Again you turn to hear your name
F G Am
From a gold loudspeaker, that calls you down to hell
G
The demons dancin' fast like flames
F G Am
With an old gatekeeper, that welcomes you to hell
G
Shake your head at nothin' new
F G Am
On the escalator that takes you down to hell
G
Day by day is deja vu
F G Am
In this red hot crater, otherwise known as hell
[chorus 1]
G
Losin' in the war you're wagin'
F
But you can't quite give it up
G Am
Let your devil die, uh
G
You buckle like your backbone's breakin'
F G
But you still won't give it up, baby just
Am G
Let your devil die
F G
Let your devil die
Am-G-F-G
Am G
Tangled in your wet, cold sheets
F G Am
But you won't let go to let angels lift you up
G
You swallow stuff to help you sleep
F G Am
But it won't take hold until angels lift you up
G
Limbs just like a marionette
F G Am
But your pride won't leave to let angels lift you up
G
Those fingers closin' 'round your neck
F G Am
Will you even live to let angels lift you up?

Let your devil die, uh

So cover up the mess you're makin'

When you won't surrender
G Am
And let your devil die, uh
G
Cuz baby, when the earth starts shakin'
F G
All your evils tear you up, in your gut
Am
Let your devil die
G
These demons deep inside
F G
Baby open wide and shove your right hand down your big mouth
Am
Pull the hate out
G
Cuz it's your judgment day
F
And every vertebrae cracks when you face facts
G Am
Comin' from black, headed straight back
G
So lift your heavy head
F
Right up until the red drains from your eyes, yes
G Am
The time has come to exercise your
G
Demons deep inside, let your devil die
F G Am
Let your devil die, let your devil die, heeeey yeeaaaah!
