Dm Am Dm Am
Dm Am E
[Verse]
Dm Am
I'm sorry darlin', but I will not let you in
Dm Am
I have seen this before, and I'm still covered in
Dm Am
But I took his tremblin' hands, I led them to my skin
E Am
They twisted around my heart, and let the dark light in
Dm Am E Am
Dm Am
So he came to me one night, to tell me he's not alone
Dm Am
He's carrying a girl, and I left him on his own
Dm Am
She opened up his skin, she lives inside his heart
E Am
And he is scratching, begging, for her to part
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh my darlin', you, you are not what I need
F C Am
I pray to mother, my god I'm down on my knees
Dm Am
Please my love, please my open heart
E Am
Please take forgiveness mother, I play the devils part
Dm Am E Am
[Verse]
Dm Am
So he shot his words like arrows, but they hit me as we stung
Dm Am
He led me out of town, to tell me I will die alone
Dm Am
'cause in my years of twenty-five, I gave a fool my heart
E Am
Please take forgiveness mother, he played the devils heart
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh my darlin', you, you are not what I need
F C Am
I pray to mother, my god I'm down on my knees
Dm Am
Please my love, please my open heart
E Am
Please take forgiveness mother, I played the devils part
[Verse]
D Am
The devils part
D Am
The devils part
D Am
The devils part
E*
The devils part
N.C. Am
The devils part
Dm Am
I could say I learnt a lesson, that I won't repeat again
Dm Am
With every passing year, I learn to bury sin
Dm
But I'm older now, truth be told,
Am E
I'm falling right apart, now spend the last days burning
Am
Paper through my heart
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh my darlin', you, you are not what I need
F C Am
I pray to mother, my god I'm down on my knees
Dm D Am
Please my love, please my open heart
E *
Please take forgiveness mother,
N.C.
I played the devils part
