As recorded by The Devil Makes Three (2025 release) [Intro] E Am D G C [Verse 1]
C
On the straight and arrow, tryna shoot like an arrow

    G                        C
And standin' on the street tonight

C
Stone cold sober and feelin' worked over

          D                       G
While the moon starts to shine so bright

      C
I can feel it in my heart

C
I can feel it in my bones

F                         D
I'm going out but I ain't goin' alone

C           G         A
All I gotta do is [?] know that you're home

    D               G    C
And everything will be alright
[Chorus]
         F
But if I could

                        C
I would drink until the whole world ends

         F
It ain't good

                       G
But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

     E
If I could

                      Am
I would do it all and do it all again

         D            F               G
I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

         F            G               C
I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins
[Verse 2]
C
Just barely made it, I hate to say it

    G                              C
But half the time I'm just hanging on

C
Thinkin' rest in peace, six feet deep

          D7                    G
To all my good friends past and gone

C
Yeah I heard what thе good book said

F                          D
But don't push me when I'm close to thе edge

C       G/B              Am
I gotta let these ghosts out of my head

     D            G       C
Then maybe we can make it through
[Chorus]
         F
But if I could

                        C
I would drink until the whole world ends

         F
It ain't good

                       G
But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

     E
If I could

                      Am
I would do it all and do it all again

         D            F               G
I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

         F            G               C
I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins
[Bridge]
          Am
The Devil wins (try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins)

          D
The Devil wins (try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins)

       F            G               C
Try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

C
I try to stand up straight before it's too late

       G                     C
For my brother who has moved on

C
He said I wasted so much time

       D                              G
I just feel like I've done everything wrong

   C
Do I look like an angel man I'm tellin' you

     F                               D
It's all that I could do now just to try to be true

              C        G               Am
It's like the eye of a needle that I'm passin' through

             D            G          C
I'm 'bout as easy as they say in the songs
[Out-Chorus]
         F
But if I could

                        C
I would drink until the whole world ends

         F
It ain't good

                       G
But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

Try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

         F
But if I could

                        C
I would drink until the whole world ends

         F
It ain't good

                       G
But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

     E
If I could

                      Am
I would do it all and do it all again
