The Devil’s Debt

September 26th, 2012

Lyrics and Chords

INTRO ; Dmin       C      A    Bb   X  4

Dmin          Bb                                 C

So, you think that you’ve found peace

 Gmin                 Bb

Happiness, release

 C

I don’t have that faith yet

 Dmin       Bb                     C

The darkness coils, unwinds

 Gmin                              Bb

Around me serpentine

 C

And I cannot forget

 Gmin

It’s the sun and the moon and the stars above

 Amin       Bb                                     Bbmaj7

It’s the crown of gold, the eaglestone

 F                                           C

And love is the devil’s debt

 Gmin

You are gone, so let the slaughter start

 Amin      Bb                          Bbmaj7

In that quarter of my heart

 F                                           C

You left me the devil’s debt

 INTRO ; Dmin       C      A    Bb  X  2

The devil’s debt

 Dmin          Bb                       C

So, a sobering Sunday morn

 Gmin                                                    Bb

The streets are pocked with scorn

 C

For Saturday’s shoes

 Dmin                Bb                       C

One more failed attempt, alas

 Gmin                              Bb

To obliterate the past

 C

And I’m aching for you

 Gmin

It’s the sun and the moon and the stars above

 Amin       Bb                                     Bbmaj7

It’s the crown of gold, the crux

 F                                           C

And love is the devil’s debt

 Gmin

You are gone, so let the slaughter start

 Amin      Bb                          Bbmaj7

In that quarter of my heart

 F                                           C

You left me the devil’s debt

 Amin  G    F    Dmin   X   4

The devil’s debt

 G     Gmin

Dmin      (Dbass)Bb              (Dbass)C

So, do I want you to have hope

 Dbass)Gmin         (Dbass)Bb

Want to see you cope

 Dbass)C

When my dreams they flay me?

 Dmin      Bb                       C

I’m anchored by this cess

 Gmin                   Bb

Of rancour, bitterness

 C

You know you owe me

 C

And you need to pay me

 Gmin

It’s the sun and the moon and the stars above

 Amin       Bb                                     Bbmaj7

It’s the crown of gold, the eaglestone

 F                                           C

And love is the devil’s debt

 Gmin

You are gone, so let the slaughter start

 Amin      Bb                          Bbmaj7

In that quarter of my heart

 F                                           C

You left me the devil’s debt

 Dmin       C      A    Bb  X  4

The devil’s debt

 Amin  G    F    Dmin   X   4

 Emin  D    C    Amin

 

Lyrics

 

So, you think that you’ve found peace

Happiness, release

I don’t have that faith yet

The darkness coils, unwinds

Around me serpentine

And I cannot forget

 

It’s the sun and the moon and the stars above

It’s the crown of gold, the eaglestone

And love is the devil’s debt

You are gone, so let the slaughter start

In that quarter of my heart

You left me the devil’s debt

The devil’s debt

 

So, a sobering Sunday morn

The streets are pocked with scorn

For Saturday’s shoes

One more failed attempt, alas

To obliterate the past

And I’m aching for you

 

It’s the sun and the moon and the stars above

It’s the crown of gold, the crux

And love is the devil’s debt

You are gone, so let the slaughter start

In that quarter of my heart

You left me the devil’s debt

The devil’s debt

 

So, do I want you to have hope

Want to see you cope

When my dreams they flay me?

I’m anchored by this cess

Of rancour, bitterness

You know you owe me

And you need to pay me

 

It’s the sun and the moon and the stars above

It’s the crown of gold, the eaglestone

And love is the devil’s debt

You are gone, so let the slaughter start

In that quarter of my heart

You left me the devil’s debt

The devil’s debt
