Am        A#
As I get closer
C#             Dm
my dreams get farther
Am            A#
I climb that ladder
C#              Dm
but you kick it over
Am           A#
Thirsty for water
C#           Dm
you give me vinegar
Am                 A#
When I drink your medicine
C#                Dm7  Em F
it just makes me sicker

        Gm      Dm
I dug a hole so deep
           Gm             Dm
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
            Gm      Dm
Can't even sell my soul
          Am                  A#
Cause it ain't worth shit to take

Chorus:
          Dm    F  Am
I got the devil on my
 Gm       A        Dm
shoulder (over and over)
           Dm
And I just can't sink
FAm Gm      A         Dm
any lower (lower and lower)
               Dm
The hounds of hell are
F   Am   Gm       A          Dm
getting closer (closer and closer)
          Dm    F
I got the devil on
Am  Gm       Am       A#
my shoulder (over and over)

Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain’t no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments are best left unspoken

I dug a hole so deep
I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
Can’t even sell my soul
‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take

Chorus

A            A#
  My horror story
Dm         Em F
  is nearly over
A            A#
  I said I'm sorry
Dm          Em F
  but I was sober
A           A#
  I beg for mercy
Dm           Em      F
  from my infernal friend
A              A#
  The one that drops
         Dm         Em F
the nails  into my coffin

          Dm    F  Am  Gm     Am F Gm Dm
I got the devil on my shoulder
          Dm    F  Am  Gm     Am F Gm Dm
I got the devil on my shoulder
