Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Intro:

D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD


Verse :
  D MajorD
A augmentedA little outside of Elizabethtown

There’s a little bar where

I’d sit down
       G+G
And trade a couple country songs
       D MajorD
for Kentucky Bourbon

  D MajorD
A augmentedA little ol’ gal in the middle

of the night

Learning how to love and

learning how to fight
   G+G
And learning how to like my
     D MajorD
brand of hurting

Pre-Chorus:
 A augmentedA
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
     G+G      N.C.
I’m just sticking with the
       D MajorD
devil I know


Chorus:
 G+G
Momma says get my ass to church

Daddy says get my ass to work
 D MajorD
Doctor says I gotta give up on

these smokes

 G+G
Everybody’s got something to say

About how I gotta change my ways

  B minorBm         A augmentedA     G+G
But I got something to say of my own

 G+G
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
     G+G             D MajorD
I’m just sticking with the devil I know

Verse :
D MajorD
I love somebody everybody loves

And he’s in love with my messed up
 G+G                      D MajorD
Most folks can’t see my soul through the smoke

      D MajorD
And we’re suitcase marks on a hardwood floor

Flipping the bird, slamming the door
       G+G                  D MajorD
And feeling out and turning 'round and coming home


Pre-Chorus:
   A augmentedA
And hell there's hell everywhere I go
    G+G             D MajorD
So I’m sticking with the devil I know

There's higher roads that I rode

And better choices than I chose

I’m just sticking with the devil I know
