V1
Am
The devil ain't a legend, the devil's real
Am
in the empty way he touched me where i hardly feel
Dm
in the empty hole inside me, where nothing ever ride me
Am
down into my grave that does not heal

bridge
E
and nothing is a something, it'll suck you dry.
Am
as a whisper you can hardly hear that tells you why

riff?

V2
Am
They told me you ain't got no problems, you self-deceived
Am
these seeming contradictions, they're make believe
Dm
it was then that I decided, my life was being guided
Am
by a second rate dependence on a first class phase

bridge
E
They told me I was breaking through, but I was breaking down
Am                                          E
by the time I heard the difference they had long left town

riff?

V3
Am
You know they're so malicious, they're mean
Am
they so vaguely well-intentioned with no love I've seen
Dm
and it's the emptiness that'll kill you, cold comfort that'll fill you
Am
with a sense of dread making things worse than they seem

bridge
E
They don't tell you nothing, you don't already know
Am                                              E
they just keep holding out the promise but they don't let go

riff?

V4
Am
well it was hard luck and trouble, bad times too
Am
I know i had 'em coming, but I got through
Dm
it was advise that you gave me in a dream, that saved me
Am
you said "get a new life contract that spells out your dues"

bridge
E
too good will define it, a clear conscience to sign it
Am                                          E
now I dream 'bout the good times and it all comes true

solo?

repeat verse 1 and 4 to end

| /  slide up
| \  slide down
| h  hammer-on
| p  pull-off
| ~  vibrato
| +  harmonic
| x  Mute note
