 (RIFF)  x2
 The devil owns  a hill in my town
 Pulls you fast  as you're riding down
 And at the bottom  there's a cop in a church parking lot
 I got stopped  and wondered why
 My surroundings  can't choose sides
 But I can't  rightly get mad 'cos neither can I
 Neither can I
 I...
I  can't choose sides
 (RIFF)  x2
 Lately I've  been getting bruised
 By love I can't  afford to lose
 And I can't say  that I like it, but what else am I supposed to do?
 I've learned this trick,  you hand me a noose
 And I will craft  you an excuse
 And I'll deliver  it direct to the tip of your tongue
 In place of "I'm sorry"
 "I'm sorry"
Let's  not say it if nobody is
 (RIFF)  x4
 
 Driving last week we nearly died
 And nothing flashed  before my eyes
 But I think  I spilled something on your leather seats
 And I'm sorry about that
 I'm sorry about that
I'll  pay for it.
 (RIFF)

[D] (RIFF) [G]  x2

The devil o[D]wns a hill in my town

Pulls you f[G]ast as you're riding down

And at the bott[Bm]om there's a cop in a church parking lot [D]

I got sto[D]pped and wondered why

My surr[G]oundings can't choose sides

But I can'[Bm]t rightly get mad 'cos neither can I[A]

Neither can [Bm]I

I..[G].

[D]I can't choose sides

[D] (RIFF) [G]    x2

Lately I[D]'ve been getting bruised

By love I c[G]an't afford to lose

And I can't [Bm]say that I like it, but what else am I supposed to do?[D]

I've learned this t[D]rick, you hand me a noose

And I will cr[G]aft you an excuse

And I'll delive[Bm]r it direct to the tip of your tongu[A]e

In place of "I'm sorr[Bm]y"

"I'm sorry[A]"

[D]Let's not say it if nobody is

[D] (RIFF) [G] x4

[Bm] [A] [G] [G]

              [D]

Driving last week we nearly died

And nothing fl[G]ashed before my eyes

But I thin[Bm]k I spilled something on your leather seat[A]s

And I'm sorry about [Bm]that

I'm sorry about [G]that

[D]I'll pay for it.

[D] (RIFF) [G]
