[Verse 1]
G                        D/F#
   All the ghosts in the schoolyard

Em                      B/D#
   Young rebels with no dreams

C           G/B
   Dying of old age

Am7        B
   At seventeen
[Verse 2]
G                  D/F#
  Some blame their mothers

Em                      B/D#
   For this unforgiving world

C                   G/B
   Others point the finger

Am                         B
   At the flag the wind un furls But I say - but I say
[Chorus]
Em             C        G       D
   You are the lock you are the key

Em                 C      G           D
   You are the mas ter of your desti- ny

Em              C              G          D
The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay

Em             C         G       D
Don't give the devil the time of day

               Em      C           G       D
Don't you give him the room or and inch to play

               Em    C   G           D
Don't give the devil     the time of day

               Em    C   G           D
Don't give the devil     the time of day

  The time of day
[Verse 3]
G                        D/F#
  There's a face in the mirror

Em                B/D#
  You don't recog nize

C                  G
So you shatter the lights

            Am                   B
'Cause they sting your bloodshot eyes

G                    D/F#
  You walk on with a stranger

               Em             B/D#
Who rolls your soul up in his wad

    C                   G/D
You place your trust in him

              Am              B
Like you once    placed it in god  Well I say
[Chorus]
Em             C        G       D
   You are the lock you are the key

Em                 C      G           D
   You are the mas ter of your desti- ny

[Bridge]
E                     A/E                 B/E            A/E
   Caught between the cyclone fence and a red brick wall

E                      A/E              B/E   A/E
   Yeah, you melt like chocolate in the sun

G                    C/G                    D/G          C/G
   Then you see your angel walking with his high-tops on

G                   C/G                  D/G          C/G
   And he hands you heaven hotter than a loaded gun

A                   B

                   A
Don't you give him
