E
I wanna go to the sun
A/E E
Hold my life like I've never done

But it's just the devil in me
A/E E
The devil that's calling as I come undone

The sky is getting dark tonight

The beating is the sound of love

The sound of love is beating like a fevered heart

I wanna lay in the dust
A/E E
The dust is gonna fall here when I lie
E
God knows it's just the devil in me
A/E E
The devil that's taking my hand to the fire

I never wanna leave you now
A/E E
Leave you like the sun is gonna disappear

But it's just believing now

Believing in my heart is what I've come to fear

Verse: [guitar restart riff]
E
I want to go to the fire
A/E E
But God knows it's the sound, it's the sound of love
E
It's the beating of my heart that you find it's beating
A/E E
And it's coming, coming, coming for you
E
And it's just the devil in me
A/E E
It's just a door to the devil gathered in disguise
E
Taking me by the hand
A/E E
And leading me, leading me off into the fire
Pre-chorus:
A
And it's the fire, the fire, the fire
B
It's heavenly, heavenly...
Chorus:
E A/E E
...desire, desire
E A/E E
Desire, desire
E A/E E
You don't have to be lost
E A/E E
You don't have to be lost
N.C.
You don't have to be lost
