Verse 1
As I get closer
my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder
but you kick it over
Thirsty for water
you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine
it just makes me sicker
Refrain
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 1
I got the devil on my
shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink
a-ny lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are
getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on
my shoulder (over and over)
Post Chorus: -Dm2----- x2
Verse 2
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
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Guitar solo

Bridge
My horror story
is nearly o--ver
I said I'm sorry
but I was so-ber
I beg for mercy
from my infernal friend
The one that drops
the nails into my coffin

I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder
(Repeat Chorus)
