[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
