The Devil Is My Running Mate
By: Jason Isbell


E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
E minorEm          A minorAm    E minorEm
And this here is his favourite state
A minorAm
Sorry you folks had to wait.
E minorEm         A minorAm   E minorEm
He always likes to show up late

E minorEm       A minorAm    E minorEm
No that ain't a rainbow, son
E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
Streetlamps on petroleum
A minorAm
Let's pull in here and get us some
E minorEm        A minorAm   E minorEm
Supplies are running out now

E minorEm         A minorAm   E minorEm
It ain't the reason for the war
E minorEm           A minorAm   E minorEm
That's meanness boy and nothing more
A minorAm
They tried to do this all before
E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
But daddy wouldn't let them

Chorus:

D MajorD     A minorAm   C majorC         E minorEm
Sometimes I don't know what I got into
D MajorD     A minorAm   C majorC        E minorEm
Sometimes I can't stand to read my name
D MajorD     A minorAm  C majorC         E minorEm
Sometimes I can only hear their voices
D MajorD    A minorAm   C majorC      E minorEm
Casting me back from where I came

E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
E minorEm        A minorAm    E minorEm
Confusion is his favourite state
A minorAm
Surely you folks can relate
E minorEm          A minorAm   E minorEm
I know we've gathered here to hate

E minorEm        A minorAm   E minorEm
It doesn't matter who we blame
E minorEm         A minorAm   E minorEm
As long as you all hear a name
A minorAm
All them bastards look the same
E minorEm     A minorAm  E minorEm
Everyone is guilty

E minorEm    A minorAm  E minorEm
Everybody look away
E minorEm     A minorAm  E minorEm
Look away, look away
A minorAm
It doesn't matter what I say
E minorEm       A minorAm    E minorEm
It's what I do that's shifty

Chorus:

D MajorD     A minorAm   C majorC         E minorEm
Sometimes I don't know what we got into
D MajorD     A minorAm   C majorC       E minorEm
Sometimes I don't think I know a thing
D MajorD     A minorAm   C majorC         E minorEm
Sometimes I can't even see the trees now
D MajorD    A minorAm   C majorC    E minorEm
For the flames, for the flames


E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
E minorEm          A minorAm    E minorEm
And this here is his favourite state
A minorAm
There ain't no other candidate
E minorEm         A minorAm E minorEm
It wouldn't matter anyway


E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
E minorEm       A minorAm   E minorEm
The devil is my running mate
