G  Em  A  Bm  A


[Verse 1]
G
Love is better
            Em         A    Bm               A
When you're blind and you can't see the cracks
          G
I was the number one contender
        Em      A     Bm                A
Now my bitter tears won't leave no tracks


G  Em  A  Bm  A

 G
Nothing lasts forever
           Em              A          Bm                A
We used to paint this town red - now all I see is black
           G
I know you think you're doing better
        Em            A           Bm         A
But the winner of the rat race is still a rat


[Chorus]
         C
Oh, am I speaking in tongues?
       Em
Have I got it all wrong?
             G
With you and me
        D/F#
You and me
          C
The devil cares for his own
             Em
So there's a place for us both
        Dsus4  D
You and me
        Dsus4  D
You and me


G  Em  A  Bm  A


[Verse 2]
        G
I see a vapour trail above me
           Em           A        Bm                  A
I know the next move's mine and the odds are stacked
           G
If I could tell you my story
         Em             A         Bm             A
It would only make you doubt everything we ever had


[Chorus 2]
         C
Oh, am I speaking in tongues?
       Em
Have I got it all wrong?
             G
With you and me
        D/F#
You and me
          C
The devil cares for his own
             Em
So there's a place for us both
        Dsus4  D
You and me,
        Dsus4  D
You and me
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
             Dsus4    D
Feels like a wrecking ball
  Dsus4    D
A wrecking ball
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
            G
You'll learn


[Bridge]
G  Em  Bm  A

G              Em
Is it all for nothing?
               Bm       A
Is it all for nothing?
G              Em
Is it all for nothing?
               Bm
Is it all for nothing?
                            A     G
The web you weave unravels itself
              Em
It's all for nothing
              Bm
It's all for nothing


[Chorus 3]
         C
Oh, am I speaking in tongues?
       Em
Have I got it all wrong?
             Dsus4  D
With you and me
        Dsus4   D
You and me
          C
The devil cares for his own
             Em
So there's a place for us both
        Dsus4   D
You and me,
        Dsus4   D
You and me
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
             Dsus4     D
Feels like a wrecking ball
   Dsus4    D
A wrecking ball
          C
Oh, every nest you've ever kicked
          Em
And every knife I let you twist
            G
You'll learn

[Outro]
G            Em     A
It's all for nothing
             Bm
It's all for nothing
    A                            G
The web you weave unravels itself
