C                                   G
So I'm sittin' here with the ghosts again, some are women, mostly men
Dm                            F
Telling me of times they have had, and I'm
C                                       G
Fantasizing about a hole in the ground; how and where I'm gonna lay myself down and
Dm                      F
Still die at 27 like we planned


[Pre-Chorus]
         Dm                     Dmmaj7
And then she saw the look in my eyes
    Dm7                 Dm6
And began to sing a song I won't describe
    Dm                            Dmmaj7
In another life we'll be king and queen, you and I
    F           G           C
And she told me devil don't cry


[Chorus]
            Am         Dm
Devil don't cry, don't cry
  F                             E
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
    Am                     Am
But God needs an enemy and I need a guy
    Dm          G           Am
And she told me devil don't cry,
               Am
at least not tonight


[Interlude]
(Am)   | Dm    | F  G  | Am    |


[Verse]
        C                   G
And I'm sitting alone again, all my friends are with their friends
Dm                       F
Thinking of times I have had and I'm
C                                       G
Fantasizing about a hole in the ground; how and where I'm gonna lay myself down
    Dm                   F
and I find a knife in my hand


[Pre-Chorus]
         Dm                     Dmmaj7
And then she saw the look in my eyes
    Dm7                 Dm6
And began to sing a song I won't describe
    Dm                            Dmmaj7
In another life we'll be king and queen, you and I
    F           G           C
And she told me devil don't cry


[Chorus]
            Am         Dm
Devil don't cry, don't cry
  F                             E
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
    Am                     Am
But God needs an enemy and I need a guy
    Dm          G           Am
And she told me devil don't cry

            Am         Dm
Devil don't cry, don't cry
  F                             E
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
    Am                     Am
But God needs an enemy and I need a guy
    Dm          G            Am
And she told me devil don't cry,
               Am
at least not tonight


[Bridge]
  G              F          G
Tonight let's pretend I'm a man
             Am              G           D/F#           F
And you're a woman and we're human, just bones and this skin
            Am             G           F          G
And I'll pretend that your touch makes everything right
          F                            E
If you pretend you're not nervous that I've taken lives


[Chorus]
            Am         Dm
Devil don't cry, don't cry
  F                             E
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
    Am                     Am
But God needs an enemy and I need a guy
    Dm          G           Am     G
And she told me devil don't cry,
    D/F#        F           Am     G
And she told me devil don't cry,
    D/F#        F           Am
And she told me devil don't cry.
