Standard (EADGBE)

Devil walks behind you

Sneakin’, ever ready to steal your world away

 No matter what you mean to

 He’ll have you sayin’ things you really should not say

It’s not that I’m a bad man

Had my good intentions just like all the rest

But when he gets behind you

 It’s hard to see for real, it’s hard to know what’s best

 Oh but just because I missed it

 No need to get all bitter and twisted.

Pocket full of promises

 But promises don’t buy you things or pay your way

I had it in my palm girl

Now there’s just an empty hand down there today

 But just ‘cause I missed it

 There’s no need to get all bitter and twisted

 I said just ‘cause I missed it

 No need to get all bitter and twisted

I tried to walk the straight line

Tried to pass the swinging door on my way home

I thought about the good things

Then I thought about the bad things too and was undone

I miss my wife and kids now

Miss all the little things we used to do and say

Devil walks behind you

Sneakin’ ever ready to steal your soul away

 Just ‘cause I missed it

 No need to get all bitter and twisted

 Just ‘cause I missed it

 No need to get all bitter and twisted

 No need to get all bitter and twisted

 Bitter and twisted, Bitter and twisted (Repeat and fade)

A really good song, most under-rated I think. Enjoy
