The Devil Is My Running Mate

	  		


Em              Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate 
Em                   Am        Em 
And this here is his favourite state 
Am  
Sorry you folks had to wait. 
Em                 Am      Em 
He always likes to show up late 

Em              Am       Em 
No that ain't a rainbow, son 
Em             Am     Em 
Streetlamps on petroleum 
Am 
Let's pull in here and get us some 
Em               Am      Em 
Supplies are running out now 

Em                  Am      Em 
It ain't the reason for the war 
Em                      Am      Em 
That's meanness boy and nothing more 
Am 
They tried to do this all before 
Em             Am      Em 
But daddy wouldn't let them 

Chorus: 

D         Am      C                 Em 
Sometimes I don't know what I got into 
D         Am      C                Em 
Sometimes I can't stand to read my name 
D         Am    C                  Em 
Sometimes I can only hear their voices 
D       Am      C            Em 
Casting me back from where I came 

Em              Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate 
Em               Am        Em 
Confusion is his favourite state 
Am 
Surely you folks can relate 
Em                    Am      Em 
I know we've gathered here to hate 

Em                Am     Em 
It doesn't matter who we blame 
Em                 Am     Em 
As long as you all hear a name 
Am 
All them bastards look the same 
Em          Am    Em 
Everyone is guilty 

Em        Am    Em 
Everybody look away 
Em         Am    Em 
Look away, look away 
Am 
It doesn't matter what I say 
Em             Am        Em 
It's what I do that's shifty 


Chorus: 

D         Am      C                  Em 
Sometimes I don't know what we got into 
D         Am      C              Em 
Sometimes I don't think I know a thing 
D         Am      C                  Em 
Sometimes I can't even see the trees now 
D       Am      C       Em 
For the flames, for the flames 


Em              Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate 
Em                   Am        Em 
And this here is his favourite state 
Am 
There ain't no other candidate 
Em                 Am Em 
It wouldn't matter anyway 


Em              Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate 
Em              Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate 
Em              Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate
