Devil To Pay Chords

(ver. 1)
Tommy And The High Pilots
A
Standing in the light

'Cause I want to be decent
D 
Putting up a fight
         A
While picking up the pieces
D
Up a fight
      A                     E 
While picking up the pieces

What I want ain't always what I needed
A
The way I've acted

You'd think I'd know better
D               A
Never wanted to become your dead letter
D               A              E
Never wanted to become a stray

Waking every morning just to wash my dreams away

A
Tell me
       D    A
Do you love me
       D     A   E
In the worst way still
      A
Don't ask me
     D    A
Do I need you
         D     A
'Cause I bleed you
      F#min
And I know
    E
You know
  A
I do

A
I'm back to the basics

I gotta face it
D                  A
Lord, I've got the devil to pay
D                         A
Yeah, I know I've got the devil to pay
E
Baby, being civil ain't easy
A
No way to cheat him

It's all beneath me
D                  A
Lord, I've got the devil to pay
D                        A
Yes, I know I've got the devil to pay

But it's 
E
Burning up so why the hell am I freezing?

A
Tell me
       D    A
Do you love me
       D     A   E
In the worst way still
      A
Don't ask me
     D    A
Do I need you
         D     A
'Cause I bleed you
      F#min
And I know
    E
You know
  A
I do

A
I lost my way

Well I carried the chain
D                          A 
I get all choked up at the devil to pay
D                 A                E
I'm on the ground figuring out the times
A
I lost the face that I can't replace
D                          A
I get all choked up at the devil's mistakes
D                 A            E
I'm on the ground figuring out mine
