[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][E][A][E][A][D][E][A][E][A]
[D][E][A][Am][D][A]
[Am]Go o[A]n

[Verse 1]
[C]
girl [G]take [C]your [Am]chances see how [Dm]long you can go on from man to [G]man
I [D]can [E]read the lines between
your stolen [Am]glances
And I [D]know it's time to fold
this loosin' [G]hand
Cause you're [C]drawn to the [G]flame
by [C]the thrill and the [G]shame
Of the [C]cheatin' game they
[F]taught you how to [G]play
That's the [C]price of the [E]high life you're [Am]livin' [F]and
[C]you still got the [G]devil to [Am]pay[G][Am][A]
Join [Am]your [C]friends [G]while you [Am]got 'em cause
you [Dm]know you're gettin' older every [G]day
You can't [E]wait to let them
take you to the bot[Am]tom
And [D]I'm gettin' tired of
standin' in [G]your way
But when [C]you hit the [G]ground don't
[C]come lookin' [G]around
For [C]the pieces of the [F]love
you threw [G]away
That's [C]just part of the [E]high cost you're [Am]leavi[F]n'
and [C]you still got the [G]devil [Am]to pay
Now you've [G]been flyin' so high for so long
and you lie to [C]yourself now most of all
[D]Baby all that you needed from me
was the freedom to [G]fall[F][C][G]
[Am]When [C]the bright lights are [G]gone
you'll [C]be standin' [G]alone
For[C]saken in the [F]na ked light of [G]day
Then you'll [C]know that it's all [E]over but the dy[Am]ing
[F]and you[C] still got[G] the[C] dev[G]il to pay[Am]

[Outro 1]
