[Verse]
 D#mSepteBmbers early,    D#mevBery early, D#mdamn all those trees
The laBzy retreat, but at lD#meast I might finally be moBving
 D#mNot a Bnod in that time on her D#mtrack
Is tBhat the sign that it's sD#mtraight
Too Btired to drink, too D#mnervous to smoke
Cause wBhat if I do too mF#uch thinG#king
F#  G#
[Verse]
 D#mRemeBmber the way I was D#mnervous
BAwkward with girls and with D#mboys
What I Bsay, how I talk, I'd D#mswing in my walk
Yeah it's Bmine and I got it from F#me
[Pre-chorus]
 G#fuck off  F#  G#  
 F#That never oG#nce worked
F#  G#
[Chorus]
D#mI'm trying to make a killing
The C#devil does work for free
BWhat does that say about the devil?
F#What does it say about G#me?
[Verse]
 D#mWho Belse is afraid that they're D#mdying?
Got a Bparanoid sense of unD#mease
Come Bon show of hands, we're a D#mculture on land
And the Bwaters all up to our D#mknees
[Verse]
BI don't feel all that D#mable
Though I'm Bwilling, or that's what I D#msay 
I'm Bsorry, I feed, disD#master, disease
But it's Beasy designed it that F#wayG#  
[Pre-chorus]
F#Fuck ofG#fF#  
G#That'll work this time
F#  G#
[Chorus]
D#mI'm trying to make a killing
The C#devil does work for free

Oh, D#mI'm trying to make a killing
The C#devil does work for free
BWhat does that say about the devil?
F#What does that say about G#me?
Oh Bwhat does it say about C#me?
[Bridge]
D#mCluttered mass I'm Bsuch a mess
I D#mwouldn't even know which Bend of the room to
D#mPick up first or Bwhich is worse
The F#thing I am or the G#thing I will be
D#mLittle black tights in the Bneon spotlight
D#mDecadent hour, we Bdance til three
D#mSimplify the Bclubhouse green out 
F#Take my hand, love, G#come with me
We're D#mall trying to make a killing
We're C#all going to hell in green
BDevil just does what he's supposed to
N.C.
This is what we choose to be
[Chorus]
D#mI'm trying to make a killing
The C#devil does work for free
BWhat does that say about the devil?
F#What does that say about G#me?
Oh, D#mI'm trying to make a killing
The C#devil does work for free
BWhat does that say about the devil?
F#What does it say about G#me?
Oh Bwhat does it say about D#m/Bme?
