Verse
Dm F
The devil’s in the graveyard
Em G
reading names
Dm F
Of all the ones he tripped up
Em G
on the way
Dm F
He sits down in the moonlight,
Em G
wipes his tears
Dm F
Staring at the white rose
Em G
that he placed
Am C Bm D
In front of the grave he visits each day since she slipped away

Verse
Dm F
The devil hides his blue eyes
Em G
in his hand
Dm F
He wipes away the last tears
Em G
as he stands
Dm F
He hears her voice so clearly
Em G
on the breeze
Dm F
She’s singing like an angel
Em G
to his weakest knees
Am C Bm D
So he twists off the cap and tips his head back for that sweet relief

Verse
Dm F
The devil’s walking slowly
Em G
on the street
Dm F
Towards his empty condo
Em G
where he’ll creep
Dm F
The silence of his bedroom
Em G
before he slips
Dm F
Into his every nightmare
Em G
as he sleeps
Am C Bm D
He sees her bright smile at the heavenly gates as he’s turned away
