Verse 1

As I get closer

my dreams get farther

I climb that ladder

but you kick it over

Thirsty for water

you give me vinegar

When I drink your medicine

it just makes me sicker

Refrain

 I dug a hole so deep

 I'm gonna drown in my mistakes

 Can't even sell my soul

 Cause it ain't worth shit to take

Chorus 1

 I got the devil on my

shoulder (over and over)

 And I just can't sink

a-ny lower (lower and lower)

 The hounds of hell are

getting closer (closer and closer)

 I got the devil on

my shoulder (over and over)

 Post Chorus: -Dm2----- x2

Verse 2

Follow the rainbow

my lucky omen

There ain't no pot of

 gold just copper tokens

I found the key to life

the lock was broken

All my accomplishments

are best left unspoken

(Repeat Refrain)

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Guitar solo

--------------

Bridge

My horror story

is nearly o--ver

I said I'm sorry

but I was so-ber

I beg for mercy

from my infernal friend

The one that drops

 the nails into my coffin
