 As I get closer
 my dreams get farther
 I climb that ladder
 but you kick it over
 Thirsty for water
 you give me vinegar
 When I drink your medicine
 it just makes me sicker
 I dug a hole  so deep
 I'm gonna drown  in my mistakes
 Can't even sell  my soul
 Cause it ain't  worth shit to take
 I got the devil on my
shoulder  (over  and over)
 And I just can't  sink
a-ny lower  (lower  and lower)
 The hounds of hell  are
getting closer  (closer  and closer)
 I got the devil on
my shoulder  (over  and over)
 Post Chorus: -Dm2-----  x2
 Follow the rainbow
 my lucky omen
 There ain't no pot  of
 gold  just copper tokens
 I found the key  to life
 the lock was broken
 All my accomplishments
 are best left unspoken
 (Repeat Refrain)
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
-----------------------
--------------
 My horror story
 is nearly o--ver
 I said I'm sorry
 but I was so-ber
 I beg for mercy
 from my infernal friend
 The one that drops
 the nails  into my coffin
------------  x2
 Bass Only
 I got the devil on my shoulder
 I got the devil on my shoulder
 (Repeat Chorus)
-Dm2-----  x2
