    Em               D        C     Em  G Am
It wasn't quite the curse of Tutankhamen
       Em                  D    C       Em  G Am
Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night
        Em          D           C     Em  G Am
And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon
Em                 D        C    Em   G Am
Tempting me with transports of delight

Chorus:
              Bm            G        Am
And when the devil took my hand and said
                 F
Come along with me

Oh, there I was, wide awake and dreaming
Reaching out for something in the sky
But I could not control that trembling feeling
Everything I want is slipping by

Chorus:
Oh, and the devil took my hand and said
Something you should see (Come along with me)

I never knew what happened to my nightmare
Everything went dark that August day
And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere
But I was on the upside of afraid

Chorus:
And then an angel took my hand and said
Come along with me (Come along with me)
