Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh I used to love you
But now that's hard to do
'Cause I got some information
'Bout the evil things at night that you [C]do
Now the whole thing is
through (we're[G]through)
[D]Oh, you're such a devil
How'd [Em]you get me to be
[C]lieve you [G]were true?
Oh, my momma warned me
And how my daddy cried
The day I left my home

[Verse 2]
You said [G]you'd always keep me satisfied
[C]But, oh, how you lied (you [G]lied)
Well, [C]I s[D]hould have heard
my mama's words
But [Em]then I guess [C]I had too
[G]much pride [C](original sin)
I used to lie awake at night
[B]And see your face on the ceilin'[Em]
What a bad a feel[C]in' I have
When I [G]think of how you almost got [D]me
In the ways of the world
[G]In the ways of the world

[Verse 3]
My so-called friends [G]friends said
I misjudged you
My anger's all in vain
But I'm afraid you got to them
Before I had a chance to explain
[C]And it caused me such
[G]pain (ouch!)
'Cause [D]they were such
good friends of mine
But [Em]now you've got t[C]hem playin' your
[G]game[C][B]
[Em][C][G][D]
(you creep[G])
[C]Well,[G][C][D]
[G][D][G]
[C][G]
[D][Em]
[C]I b[G]elieve in Jesus
And what he said he's [D]gonna [G]do
He'll put an apple in
your lyin' mouth
And cook you in a sulfer stew
[C]One that'll never be thr[G]ough
(Is it soup yet? No)

[Verse 4]
Ah, [D]but if he hadn't rescued me
[Em]Then I'd be down there [C]cookin' [G]too
Oh, if Je[D]sus hadn't rescued me
[Em]Then I'd be cookin'
[C]right next to [G]you[Am][G]
[C]I used to lie awake at nig[B]ht
And see your face on the ceil[Em]in'
What a great feel[C]in' I have
[D]When I [G]think of how you're
gonna get [D]yours
At the end of [G]the world
At the end of the world
[C]Oh, at [G]the[C] en [D]d of the world

[Outro 1]
[G]
