Capo 2
[Verse 1]
EI come home late at night Awith my boots in my hands
AmStumble in the backdoor bein' quiet as I Ecan
EAnd I know she's there in bed Acold and all alone
And she's Amcryin' because I'm breaking up our Ehome
[Chorus 1]
And she Eknows the hell that I'm Agoin' through 
In this Eworld inside my B7head
There's a Edevil in the Abottle Lord 
And he EwanB7ts to see me AdeadE  
[Verse 2]
EI fall into her arms anAd she helps me with my clothes
AmGuess she stays on with me cause she really kEnows
EThat I'm tryin' Lord to find mAy freedom
By eAmscaping to the only freedom I've ever kEnown
[Chorus 2]
And she Eknows this hell that I'm Agoin' through 
In this Eworld inside my B7head
There's a Edevil in the Abottle Lord 
And he Ewon't B7rest till I'm AdeadE  
There's a Edevil in the Abottle Lord 
And he EwanB7ts to see me AdeadE
