The Devil And Me       Alan Jackson 
D 
This world can take you by the hand 
D              G 
And tempt the soul of any man 
G         D 
You can choose your path 
D                          A 
There's two roads you can take 
 A       D 
One is right one is wrong 
 D        G 
Flesh is weak but love is strong 
G      D                      A       D 
She's all I see between the devil and me 
 
D 
The gates of hell swing open wide 
D         G           D 
Inviting me to step inside 
D                     D 
I'll be your friend  he calls again 
D            A 
I know it's him 
A                 D 
The flames are spreading everywhere 
D            G                D 
Through the smoke I see her there 
D                             A       D 
She's all I see between the devil and me 
 
lead 
D 
I hold her in my arm tonight 
D            G 
So safe and warm I close my eyes 
G      D                                           A 
And a cool breeze blows across our bodies in the dark 
A             D 
Outside her reach is my concern 
D            G 
>Somewhere I know the fire burns 
G      D                      A        D 
She's all I see between the devil and me 
 
Chorus, to ending 
 
ENDING: 
D 
The gates of hell swing open wide 
D        G             D 
Inviting me to step inside 
D                             A       D 
She's all I see between the devil and me
