"The Devil Is All Around"
by Shovels & Rope
Swimmin' Time

         C                            G
When the devil is all around, got you crawlin' on the ground
                                     D
On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth
         C                   G     D                    G
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god

        G                           C        G
I got a-wasted and I sat around the fire all day
               C         G           D
See if I could find some one to make love to
                  G                          C       G
And I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away
         C      G       D
From the fabric of my being

    C      G             D
But nobody knows it like you do, babe
C      G             D
Nobody knows it like you do
C      G             D       Em
Nobody knows it like you do, babe
    C          D       G
The lengths we will go to...

                 G                         C     G
I going down the long road, maybe it's the wrong road
                       C       G        D
Either way I've got to find my way back home again
                     G                            C  G
And it's too late to turn back now, gotta get the ???
      C         G              D
gotta find some way to make it right, oh

    C      G             D
But nobody knows it like you do, babe
C      G             D
Nobody knows it like you do
C      G             D       Em
Nobody knows it like you do, babe
    C          D       G
The lengths we will go to...

C
                         G                 C
There must be some other way, I just don't know
                       G               C
How to get myself back up on that high road
           G                 D
But nobody knows it like you do

                  G                      C      G
So I'm gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can
             C          G          D
Though I'm a shell of a man that I once was
                 G               C       G
And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of god
      C       G        D
It'll be hard won, I assure you

               C                            G
Cause when the devil is all around, got you crawling on the ground
                                      D
On your hands and your knees with and apple in your mouth
         C                   G     D                    G
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
               C                   G     D                    G
Yeah, you will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
