G
No promises, no guarantees
When you come down here you're already on your knees
You want to ride white lightning then sign your name
If you want to dance with the Devil
                    D#             F
You got to play his way, play the game


You got to taste that sweetness
Because you can't say no
But are you ready for
the nightmare when you can't let go
Like a soldier of fortune when the money runs dry
You got rivers of bitter tears in your eyes

Chorus:
D#
You want to leave but you can't let go
You want stop but you can't say no

you just can't live without it
D#
You had enough but you just want more
You never get what you're looking for
F

It's a no win situation, there's no way out
And no one will ever hear you

                            F         D

       A
White lightning, it's a one way ride
                              F          D
White lightning, oh, there's nowhere to hide
A
Oh, can you believe me babe?

Such a lonely road you ride
It's not easy when you don't know why
Such a heavy load you hide
You never leave no matter how you try

Chorus

White lightning, can you feel it, can you feel it?
White lightning, it's so dangerous
White lightning, no promises, no guarantees
White lightning
