"The Devil Is All Around"
by Shovels and Rope
'Swimmin' Time'
When the Cdevil is all around and got you Gcrawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with an Dapple in your mouth
You will Cknow how far you'll Ggo to Dmake your peace with Ggod
I got Gwasted and I sat around the Cfire all Gday
See if I could Cfind someGone to make Dlove to
I barely even Gnoticed how the fibers did Ctear awaGy
From the Cfabric Gof my beDing
And Cnobody Gknows it like Dyou do babe, Cnobody Gknows it like Dyou do
CNobody Gknows it like Dyou do Embabe, the Clengths we Dwill go Gto
I’m going down a Glong road, maybe it's the Cwrong Groad
But either way I gotta Cfind my Gway back Dhome again
It's too late to Gturn back now, gotta get the Clead on Gout
Gotta Cfind some Gway to make it Dright on
And Cnobody Gknows it like Dyou do babe, Cnobody Gknows it like Dyou do
CNobody Gknows it like Dyou do Embabe, the Clengths we Dwill go Gto
C
There must be some other Gway, I just don't Cknow
Gotta get myself back Gup on that high Croad
But nobody Gknows that like you Ddo
So I'm gonna be a Ggood man, gonna do the Cbest I Gcan
Though I'm a Cshell of the Gman that I Donce was
And if I find forGgiveness in the Ceyes of Ggod
It will Cbe hard Gwon, I asDsure you
When the Cdevil is all around and got you Gcrawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with and Dapple in your mouth
You will Cknow how far you'll Ggo to Dmake your peace with Ggod
Yeah, you will Cknow how far you'll Ggo to Dmake your peace with Ggod

"The Devil Is All Around"

by Shovels and Rope

'Swimmin' Time'

C G

When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground

On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth

C G D G

You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god

G C G

I got wasted and I sat around the fire all day

C G D

See if I could find someone to make love to

G C G

I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away

C G D

From the fabric of my being

C G D C G D

And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do

C G D Em C D G

Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to

G C G

I’m going down a long road, maybe it's the wrong road

C G D

But either way I gotta find my way back home again

G C G

It's too late to turn back now, gotta get the lead on out

C G D

Gotta find some way to make it right on

C G D C G D

And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do

Gotta get myself back up on that high road

G D

But nobody knows that like you do

G C G

So I'm gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can

C G D

Though I'm a shell of the man that I once was

G C G

And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of god

C G D

It will be hard won, I assure you

When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground

On your hands and your knees with and apple in your mouth

C G D G

You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
