♫ Verse:

Am                   C
If I were the devil, first thing that’d I’d do
             G                    Fmaj7
Is I’d come off like I ever gave a damn about you
Am                                   C
I’d let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires
          G                          Fmaj7
And I’d watch the flames in your eyes burn like hell fire

♫ Instrumental:
Am C G Fmaj7

♫ Verse:
Am                   C
Find all the wolves, in the land
        G
And I’d make them fight each other
          Fmaj7
Tooth and nail and hand to hand
Am                          C
Find all the sheep, make ‘em stir up the pot
                  G                            Fmaj7
‘cause once the wolves have killed each other, sheep are what I want

♫ Chorus:
Am                                  C
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true
        G                           Fmaj7
And I don’t know if he’s red, and I don’t know if he’s blue
Am                                C
One thing that I know we need to take a look around
G                         Fmaj7
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground

♫ Instrumental:
Am C G Fmaj7

♫ Verse:
 Am                                   C
‘Cause I’d place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow
           G                             Fmaj7
Well I’d shine in all the tears of joy, yelling from the crowd
Am                                        C
I’d want to brain wash some parents, and I’d have the world
            G                           Fmaj7
I’ll be in every schoolhouse lecturing little boys and girls

♫ Chorus:
Am                                  C
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true
       G                           Fmaj7
And I don’t know if it’s me, and I don’t know if it’s you
Am                                    C
But one thing that I know we need to take a look around
G                         Fmaj7
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground

♫ Interlude:
Am       C
Mmmm mm  mmmmm
G    Fmaj7
mmmm mmm

♫ Verse:
Am                C
For my final act, I’ll tell you what’d it’d be
          G                     Fmaj7
I’d have everyone so medicated, they could never see
Am                                    C
My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised
         G                             Fmaj7
And the best part of it all, is they’d comply with their demise

♫ Chorus:
Am                                  C
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true
       G                           Fmaj7
And I don’t know if it’s me, and I don’t know if it’s you
Am                                    C
But one thing that I know we need to take a look around
G                         Fmaj7
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground

♫ Instrumental:
Am C G Fmaj7

♫ Outro:
Am                             C
If I were the devil, and this world was mine to see
         G                                  Fmaj7
Well id witness all the atrocities and it’d probably frighten me
Am                            C
So I’d run back home, with a story to tell
          G                          Fmaj7
I’d tell all my demon friends that I always preferred hell
