Intro

         Dm (xx0231@1)  
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
     GmThey (355333@1)call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
       DmTo (xx0231@1)the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
    GmBut (355333@1)call me by any name
A (x02220@1)
Any way it's all the same


Verse 1

        Dm (xx0231@1) 
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
        GmI'm (355333@1)the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
        DmI'm (xx0231@1)the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
        GmI'm (355333@1)the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe


Chorus 

Bb (x1333x@1)                          Dm (xx0231@1) And it's so easy when you're evil
Bb (x1333x@1)This is the life you see
    DmThe (xx0231@1)Devil tips his hat to me
Bb (x1333x@1)                     Dm (xx0231@1)I do it all because I'm evil
      AAnd (x02220@1)I do it all for free             Dm (xx0231@1)
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

Verse 2

While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there I'll be waiting round the corner
It's a game I'm glad I'm in it
Cause there's one born every minute

Chorus

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

I pledge my allegiance to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told Lord Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job but does it happily

Verse 3

I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn upon the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain a sudden start

Chorus 2

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

Outro

Gm (355333@1)                     Dm (xx0231@1)It gets so lonely being evil
         AWhat (x02220@1)I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
Gm (355333@1)                             DmAnd (xx0231@1)no one loves you when you're evil
    AI'm (x02220@1)lying though my teeth        Dm
Your tears are all the company I need
