[Intro]
AmLife's too short to be Fdancing with the Devil
Dm*        Dm*         E*
Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
AmYou best sleep with a Fblanket and a shovel
Dm*        Dm*         E*
'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
[Verse 1]
AmWhere am I? FMy hands are tied
DmTurn on the lights and I Esee you standing
AmOver me, Fit's hard to breathe
DmI can't believe that Eyou'd do this to me
[Pre-Chorus]
AmYears of us Fbuilding the trust up
DmNo love was ever Eenough
AmI'm foolish to Fthink we were friends
DIt's funny how it Eends
[Chorus]
You Amknow, when Ftimes get Dmtough, you always Egive up
I Amknow your Fsmoking guns, the Dmtip of your Etongue
You Amtake Emyour Faim to Dmpoint the Eblame, it's time you let it AmgoF  
So save your Dmlies, behind those Eeyes, you're a devil in disguise
[Post-Chorus]
AmLife's too short to be Fdancing with the Devil
Dm*        Dm*         E*
Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
AmYou best sleep with a Fblanket and a shovel
Dm*        Dm*         E*
'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
[Verse 2]
AmNow it's time Fto pay the price
DmNo playing nice, when you Elive so selfish
AmHave a drink, Fand make a scene
DmEmbarrass me, 'cause you're Elost and hopeless
[Pre-Chorus]
AmYears of us Fbuilding the trust up
DmNo love was ever Eenough
AmI'm foolish to Fthink we were friends
DIt's funny how it Eends
[Chorus]
You Amknow, when Ftimes get Dmtough, you always Egive up
I Amknow your Fsmoking guns, the Dmtip of your Etongue
You Amtake Emyour Faim to Dmpoint the Eblame, it's time you let it AmgoF  
So save your Dmlies, behind those Eeyes, you're a devil in disguise
[Post-Chorus]
AmLife's too short to be Fdancing with the Devil
Dm*        Dm*         E*
Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
AmYou best sleep with a Fblanket and a shovel
Dm*        Dm*         E*
'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
[Bridge]
AmYou try to act as if you're Fsaving me
But you Dmwouldn't cut the rope if it was Ehanging me
AmI'm sick of people saying what you Fsow you reap
'Cause I've been Dmcounting down the minutes of Ethat, so to speak
Think of all the Amhours and hours of grind
That would it Fturned into sour findings
As I Dmwonder if our resigning is Ebecoming the silver lining
AmBut I'm not a coward, I'm fighting
FCause if they're the meat then I'm biting
DmGo ahead ignoring and smiling
E'cause I'm climbing 'til I let...
[Chorus]
You Amknow, when Ftimes get Dmtough, you always Egive up
I Amknow your Fsmoking guns, the Dmtip of your Etongue
You Amtake Emyour Faim to Dmpoint the Eblame, it's time you let it AmgoF  
So save your Dmlies, behind those Eeyes--
You Amknow, when Ftimes get Dmtough, you always Egive up
I Amknow your Fsmoking guns, the Dmtip of your Etongue
You Amtake Emyour Faim to Dmpoint the Eblame, it's time you let it AmgoF  
So save your Dmlies, behind those Eeyes, you're a devil in disguise
[Outro]
AmLife's too short to be Fdancing with the Devil
Dm*        Dm*         E*
Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
AmYou best sleep with a Fblanket and a shovel
Dm*        Dm*         E*
'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
