Bitter And Twisted

Tom: D

A                       A7
Devil walks behind you
A                         D          C     A
Sneakin’, ever ready to steal your world away
                            A7
No matter what you mean to 
       A                           D      C         A
He’ll have you sayin’ things you really should not say
A
It’s not that I’m a bad man
A7                       D         C       A
Had my good intentions just like all the rest
A
But when he gets behind you  
      A7                          D      C           A
It’s hard to see for real, it’s hard to know what’s best
         D
Oh but just because I missed it
                     C                A
No need to get all      bitter and twisted.



A                         A7
Pocket full of promises
     A                       D        C        A
But promises don’t buy you things or pay your way
A
I had it in my palm girl
A7                          D        C       A
Now there’s just an empty hand down there today
      D
But just ‘cause I missed it
                             C                A
There’s no need to get all        bitter and twisted 
         D
I said just ‘cause I missed it
                   C                  A
No need to get all       bitter and twisted


A                                   A7
I tried to walk the straight line
A                           D       C      A
Tried to pass the swinging door on my way home
A
I thought about the good things
A7                                   D        C    A
Then I thought about the bad things too and was undone

A
I miss my wife and kids now
A7                              D      C      A
Miss all the little things we used to do and say

Devil walks behind you
A7                       D         C     A
Sneakin’ ever ready to steal your soul away
  D
Just ‘cause I missed it
                    C                A
No need to get all       bitter and twisted
  D 
Just ‘cause I missed it
                     C               A
No need to get all      bitter and twisted
                     C                A
No need to get all       bitter and twisted
   C         A         C          A
Bitter and twisted,  Bitter and twisted (Repeat and fade)
