[Verse 1]
G                     C
oh to take sorrow and use it as a crutch
      G                            C
and to have all you need and never know it as such
G                                          C
oh to want the warmth of fire and feel the burn of its touch
G                    C
I think about you way too much

[Chorus 1]
    D
the devil's got my secret
   Em
he swore he'd never tell
   C
I left it for safekeeping
     D                 G
I'll pick it up in hell

[Verse 2]
  G                                      C
a match is struck only once, the thought struck more than twice
G                          C
honesty's a virtue that is wavering like a vice
 G                                     C
it screams in two directions, yeah, it cuts like a knife
G                      C
I'll think about you all my life

[Chorus 2]
       D
oh the devil's got my secret
   Em
he swore he'd never tell
  C
I left it for safekeeping
     D                   D                     G
I'll pick it up in hell I will pick it up in hell

  C  G  C  D  Em  C  D
(ooh's)

[Verse 3]
G                               C
should I choose the one way, my life goes on
   Gm          G           C
my world's not broken. my home's not gone
       G                             C
oh but should I choose the other, so sweet and wrong...
  G                              C
no I'll think about you, then continue on

[Chorus 3]
           D
oh, oh the devil's got my secret
   Em
he swore he'd never tell
  C
I left it for safekeeping and oh, he keeps it well
    D
the devil's got my secret
   Em
he swore he'd never, never tell
  C                            D
I left it for safekeeping I'll pick it up in hell
       Am
I will pick it up in hell
       D                    G
I will pick it up in,  in hell
