Intro Dm F Em G Dm F Em G Verse Dm F The devil?s in the graveyard Em G reading names Dm F Of all the ones he tripped up Em G on the way Dm F He sits down in the moonlight, Em G wipes his tears Dm F Staring at the white rose Em G that he placed Am C Bm D In front of the grave he visits each day since she slipped away Instrumental Dm F Em G Dm F Em G Verse Dm F The devil hides his blue eyes Em G in his hand Dm F He wipes away the last tears Em G as he stands Dm F He hears her voice so clearly Em G on the breeze Dm F She?s singing like an angel Em G to his weakest knees Am C Bm D So he twists off the cap and tips his head back for that sweet relief Instrumental Dm F Em G Dm F Em G Verse Dm F The devil?s walking slowly Em G on the street Dm F Towards his empty condo Em G where he?ll creep Dm F The silence of his bedroom Em G before he slips Dm F Into his every nightmare Em G as he sleeps Am C Bm D He sees her bright smile at the heavenly gates as he?s turned away Instrumental Dm F Em G Dm F Em G
