[Intro] G G [Verse 1]
           G                                    C
Let me tell you ‘bout a lad named Lázaro Grady

         D
Cut a deal with the devil, it was pretty damn shady

      G                           C
He told old Scratch, “I never wanna be sad”

D7                                              G
Sneaky ol’ devil answered, that can be had.
G G (two bars of G in between) [Verse 2]
        G                          C
Now Lázaro thought he was in control

      D
He says I’m not giving up my soul

G                                C
Slimy old snake said, that’s OK

      D7                                    G
For this deal it’s best we let it stay.
[Chorus 1]
   G            C
   Poor old Lázaro,

   A                                 D7
   thinks he’s pretty smart, but I don’t know

   G           C
   Poor old Lázaro,

   A7                     D7                               G
   Dealin’ with the devil is a tough row to hoe.
G G (two bars of G in between) [Verse 3]
G                           C
Poof and sparkles just like in the ad

D
Now ol’ Lázaro can never feel bad

            G                     C
But his soul is dry and empty in its place

D7                     D7         G
Every emotion done got erased.
[Chorus 2]
   G            C
   Poor old Lázaro,

      A7                         D
   a boy with no feelings got nowhere to go

    G           C
   Poor old Lázaro,

          A7            D7                           G
   You never feel high if you can’t feel low.
[Bridge]
C                C6             G
  He sees a sunset, he hears a symphony

A                                             D7
  He’s recording all the data,  just like ChatGPT

                    C                         C6          G               E7
  You get to keep your soul but hold on; Wait just a minute.

A7                                   D7
  What good is having the box with nothing in it?
[Verse 4]
       G                        C
His gaze is flattened just like Spock

      D
His brain is burning but it’s still in shock

G                                 C
If he still could he’d be singin’  the blues

D7                                                          G        G      G   D7   G
When you deal with the devil, (pause) you always lose.
