lyrics

NEVER BET THE DEVIL D. Bell

Intro:
Am Am
Let me tell you my story, ‘cause my conscious demands.
Dm E
I once held the world in the palm of my hands
Am F
Well now my heart is just an ember, once tried and once true.
Dm E
I’m gonna teach you my lesson of what not to do
Am F Dm
You never bet the devil . You never bet the devil. You never bet the devil.
E Am
You never bet him your head, you just invite him to bed .
Dm E
And let him does what he wants, Instead of does what he says
Am
You bet the devil your head
F Dm
And you’ll begin to feel, feel, feel the tables turn
E Am
while you burn, the tables turn.
Am F Dm
You never bet the devil . You never bet the devil. You never bet the devil.
E Am
You never bet him your heart, or you’ll be doomed from the start
Dm E
You let him do what he please, instead of does what he needs
Am
You bet the devil your heart
F Dm E
And you’ll think you’re so smart smart, smart,
you’ll watch and learn, as you burn, you’ll watch and learn
There’s a place in hell that I’ve been and do know well,
where the angels play for the wrong team
And I know a few devils, still above ground level,
who ‘ll rip you apart at the seams.

There’s a place in hell that I’ve been and know too well,
where the angels are on the wrong team
And I know a few devils, still above ground level,
Who‘ll light you on fire in your dreams.
You never bet him your soul, ‘cause it’s for you the bell tolls
You let him think he’s the one , while you polish his gun
You bet the devil your soul
And you will start the pyre, pyre, pyre for you to burn,
Fueled by desire, desire for lovers spurned
And know that it’s the liar, liar, liar that gets his turn,
‘cause he’s a man of no concern
While I conspire with the devil, giving him you in return
