[C#m] [A]

[G#m] [E]
[B]
[A]
[B] [C#m] If I were the devil, [B] [E] the first thing that I'd [G#m] do,
I'd come off [E] as somebody who [A] gave a damn about you.
[C#m] I'd let you catch a peek of [G#m] all [E] your greatest desires,
and [G#m] I'd watch the flames in your eyes [F#m] burn [C#] like hellfire.
[C#m]
[G#m] [E]
[B]
[A]
[C#m]
I'd find all the [B] wolves
[E] in the land,
and [B] I'd make them [E] fight each other [C#m] tooth and nail, hand to [A] hand.
[C#m]
I'd find all the sheep and [G#m] make [E] them herd up the pox,
[B]
because once the wolves [E] have killed each other, [A] sheep are what I want.
[C#m]
The devil walks among [G#m] us, friends, [E] I know this is true,
and [G#m] I don't know if he's red, and [F#m] I don't know [A] if he's [C#m] blue.
One thing that I know [G#m] we need [E] to take a look around,
[B]
because if I were the [E] devil, [A] this would be [C#m] my playground.
[G#m] [E]
[B]
[A]
[C#m]
And as I place that crown [G#m] upon [E]
my furrowed brow,
well, [B] I'd shine in tears of joy that [F#m] come crashing [A] from the crowd.
[C#m]
Once I have the [G#m] parents and [E] I've brainwashed the world,
I'll [B] be in every schoolhouse lecturing
[A] little boys and girls.
[C#m] The devil walks among [E] us, friends, I know this is true,
[B] and I don't know if it's me, and I'd [A] be damned if it were you.
[C#m]
One thing that I know [E] we need to take a look around,
[B] because if I were the devil, this [A] would be [C#m] my playground.
[G#] [E]
[B]
For
[A] [C#m]
my final act, [G#m] [E]
I'll tell you what it'd be.
I'd have [G#m] everyone [E] so medicated [A]
they could never [C#m] see.
My club and hubs or [G#m] horned [E] head would be all disguised,
and the best part of it all is [A] they'll comply with their demise.
[C#m] The devil walks among [G#m] us, friends, [E] I know this is true,
and I don't know if he's red, and [A] I don't know if he's blue.
[C#m]
One thing that I know we [E] need to take a look around,
[B] because if I were the [E] devil, this [A] would be [C#m] my playground.
[G#m] [E]
[B]
[A]
If [C#m]
I were the devil, [B] [E]
this world was mine to see.
[B]
I'd see all the [E] atrocities [C#m] and it'd probably frighten me.
So I'd head back [G#m] home [E] with a story to tell.
[B] I'd tell all my demon [A] friends that I always preferred hell.
