Hilltop Hoods - Audience With The Devil Chords

Am                                                                    
I was granted an audience in the devils maze,

C
I sat by his throne and we talked for days,

F
He told me about his ancient battles with arch-angels,

C
He told me loneliness was the torture most painful,

A
He said if I filled my lifetime with sin,

Em
I could earn myself a seat that was right by him,

G
And if I didn't, that was fine by him,

D
Cos everyday a million souls just fly right in,

Am
He could barely keep up with the souls of all the people,

C
It's not easy being sole controller of all evil,

F
He said 'Too many people want to burn with me,

C
I swear free wills a b**ch and so's eternity,


A
So what you learn from me might save you from suffering,

Em
You don't want to see the bowels of the earth rupturing,

G
Take a breath, suck it in, I got more to tell,

D
And time's of no consequence when you're in hell.'

A
I had a lot a questions;

Em
I asked the devil to explain

C
Why I always think that people have it in for me?

F
And why I always feel like the sky's closing in on me?

G
This is what he said, 

C
'The sky's not falling it's just angels committing suicide,

F
Cos they're so saddened by humans using genocide,

C
As a political tool, considering all you humans have,

F
The way you act belittles you all,

C
Now hell is so full that we started expanding,

A
Damnation is a business and the markets demanding.'

Em
I asked him if the city streets buckled and cracked,

G
And hell rose to earth then would heaven collapse?

D
He smiled; I knew that smile was his response,

Am
I thought to myself, he's almost got what he wants,

C
He said 'I'll tell you my one desire,

F
That's for earth itself to become my empire,

C
Every politicians like a gun for hire.

A
Even the church of nativity's come under fire,

Em
So you can tell I'm getting close to my goal,

G
Of creating a world where I can torture every soul.'

D
Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned,

A
Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned,

Em
It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,

G
To make those same mistakes again and again,

D
Sitting with the devil, this is what I learned,

A
Apart from the ways a human soul can be burned,

Em
It's that though we learn from our mistakes we're condemned,

G
To make those same mistakes

D
again and again,
again and again,

A
again and again,
again and again.

Em
And Time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

A
Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

Em
My time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

A
Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

G
My time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

D
Like I keep, I keep slipping away,

Em
My time keeps, time keeps slipping away,

A
Like I keep, Like I keep -

G                                    D
I keep slipping away, I keep slipping away...
