Devil's Sidewalk

Em C Em

Em C Em

Em C Em D

G C D C

Took a walk down hell's pavement

G C D C

Took a walk down pulled by the tide

G C D C

I had to make some new arrangement

Em C G

Oh I thought I'd reach the other side

D Em C G

Then someone opened up their mouth to talk

D Em C G D

They said (hey!) you ain't where you think you are

Em C Em D

You just landed on the devil's sidewalk

G C D C

Had a minor misunderstanding

G C D C

With a street lamp one night

G C D C

The smell of burning ... rubber hit my senses

Em C G

I thought I'd reach the other side

D Em C G

When someone opened up their mouth to talk

D Em C G D

They said (hey!) you ain't where you think you are

Em C Em D

You're just stranded on the devil's sidewalk

Em C Em D

You're just stranded on the devil's sidewalk

F#m Am7

And it's cold, so cold

F#m Am7

And it's cold, so cold

F#m Am7 D

And it's cold, so cold

G D G C

No-one's got names, under the flames

G D G C

Everyone screams, hope it's a dream

G D G C F#m

Nothing makes sense, everything's tense

Bm D

Wish I could say what it meant

G C D C

Took a long look down at the mirror

G C D C

Couldn't see my face at all

G C D C

Just those strait lines, leading to nowhere

Em C G

Oh I thought I'd reach the other side

D Em C G

When someone opened up their mouth as if to talk

D Em C G D

They said (hey!) you ain't where you think you are

Em C Em D

You just landed on the devil's sidewalk

Em C Em D

You just landed on the devil's sidewalk
