Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm the devil that you know

[Interlude 1]
Baby, I know what you want
[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Em][F][Am][B][Bb][Em][Am]
[Em][Am][Em]
[Am]I know

[Verse 2]
you ask for miracles
[Em]You peop[Am]le are good at that
You're waiting [Em]for the man
To pull a [Am]rabbit [Em]from his hat
But [D]I can get you off
Yeah, bad boys are an aph
[Am]rodisiac[Em][Am][Em]
[Am]I prom[F]ise baby[B],
that I can be [Bb]anything [Em]you want
I'm the [Am]devil that you know

[Verse 3]
Or the devil that you don't
[Am]
You all like the [Em]familiar
You [Am]all like t[Em]he routine
[Am]You all wish you knew what you know[Em]
And [Am]still [Em]be seventeen
I [D]had a talk with Jesus
I said, "Man, you're just part
of the ma[Am]chine"[Em]
[Am]He u[Em]nfrie[Am]nded me[F] on Face[Am]book[B]
I [Am]said, "oh, [Em]no you don't"
I'm the [Am]devil that you know

[Interlude 2]
Baby, I know what you want
[Am][D]
[Am][Em][Am][D]
[Am][Em][D]
[Am]
[D]

[Verse 4]
Now, [Am]people [Em]loosen up
He [Am]may have loved you [Em]once
[Am]But why you think God [Em]quit
Performing all his stunts?
[D]You like the burning bush
His badass victors on [Am]the[Em]
[Am]batt[Em]lefronts

[Verse 5]
[F]Where's that angry [B]guy smitin'
[Am]Heathens and [Em]sending plagues?
[Am]God has left the building
You can raise the barricades
[Em]Sing it for me, baby
[Am]Sing your solemn [Em]song[Am]

[Verse 6]
Listen to me
[Em]Everything you [Am]do and sa[Em]y is wr[C]ong
[D]Your very best interest at heart
You know I've had them
[Am]all [Em]along
[F]Every[B]one gets nervous
When they [Am]face the [Em]great unknown
Do you [Am]want the devil that you know
Or the devil [Em]that you [Am]don't?

[Interlude 3]
[D][Am]
[D][Am]
[Em][D][Am]
[D]I

[Verse 7]
used to [Em]like you better
When you [Am]had that diamond [Em]smile
[Am]You close your knees, toss[Em]ed the keys
And [Am]joined the rank and file
[D]Your pretty pink Ferrari
Don't give joy rides
[Am]in exile[Em][Am][Em]
[Am]Come back [C]to me, [B]baby
Just [Am]lose that [Em]chaperone
I'm the [Am]devil that you know
Not [C]the devil that [Am]you don't

[Verse 8]
[Am]You're looking up to heaven
[Em]Drea[Am]ming on a st[Em]ar[Am]
You can't reach it, baby
[Em]Not [Am]from where you are
[D]You stopped drinking
double bloody mary's
At the [Am]airport bar
You're scared to [B]make a move
It's so not [Em]what you want
You're caught [Am]between the
devil that you know
And the devil that you [Am]don't!
