   Some blame their mothers
            Em          B/F#
   For this unforgiving world
 C                  G/B
   Others point the finger
          Am               B
   At the flag the wind un furls

But I say


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

Don't give him


G                        D/F#
   There's a face in the mirror
Em7                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/F#
Who rolls your soul up in his wad
    C                   G/B
You place your trust in him
              Am               B
Like you once     placed it in god

Well I say

     Then you see your angel walking with his high-tops on
G                    C/G                  E/G#
    And he hands you heaven hotter than a loaded gun
A                B

                   A
Don't you give him

Don't you give him

Don't give him
