V1
[Am]The devil ain't a legend, the devil's real
[Am]in the empty way he touched me where i hardly feel
[Dm]in the empty hole inside me, where nothing ever ride me
[Am]down into my grave that does not heal
bridge
[E]and nothing is a something, it'll suck you dry.
[Am]as a whisper you can hardly hear that tells you why
riff?
V2
[Am]They told me you ain't got no problems, you self-deceived
[Am]these seeming contradictions, they're make believe
[Dm]it was then that I decided, my life was being guided
[Am]by a second rate dependence on a first class phase
bridge
[E]They told me I was breaking through, but I was breaking down
[Am]by the time I heard the difference they had [E]long left town
riff?
V3
[Am]You know they're so malicious, they're mean
[Am]they so vaguely well-intentioned with no love I've seen
[Dm]and it's the emptiness that'll kill you, cold comfort that'll fill you
[Am]with a sense of dread making things worse than they seem
bridge
[E]They don't tell you nothing, you don't already know
[Am]they just keep holding out the promise but they [E]don't let go
riff?
V4
[Am]well it was hard luck and trouble, bad times too
[Am]I know i had 'em coming, but I got through
[Dm]it was advise that you gave me in a dream, that saved me
[Am]you said "get a new life contract that spells out your dues"
bridge
[E]too good will define it, a clear conscience to sign it
[Am]now I dream 'bout the good times and it all [E]comes true
solo?
