Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Love me now while we're alive
It's the best thing we can do
We'll have no time upon cloud nine
So heaven on earth will have to do
I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon
And I do it all so well
'Cause I made a deal with the devil
And when I die
I'm goin' straight to hell!
Verse
Standin' at the crossroad
He offered wine, women and song
A riches, fame and fortune
In my hands from that day on
(Same as last paragraph)
I was granted there and then
A life of rock & roll
And it seemed like such a bargain
For just one eternal soul
Pre-chorus
I know I'll curse this damn decision
And I'll regret it 'till the moment I fall
But I'll be makin' the most of a bad situation
Until my number's called
Chorus
Love me now while we're alive
It's the best thing we can do
Oh we'll have no time upon cloud nine
Heaven on earth will have to do
I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon
And I do it all so well
'Cause I made a deal with the devil
And when I die
I'm goin' straight to hell!
Oh yeah!
I'm goin' straight to hell!
[Verse 2, same chords as first verse]
There's times I swear I've come out on top
In this ill conceived contract
And there's nights I say it's a small price to pay
For the life and times I've had
And I think "Here's to the gents and ladies"
And all the foolish times we spent
They cost me afterlife in paradise
And they were worth every single cent
[Pre-Chorus 2, same chords as first pre-chorus]
So have a dance with the walkin' 'dam
Before my time is done
'Cause a deal is a deal and I don't expect
Fire and brimstone'll be much fun!
Chorus
[Pre-bridge]
I said straight to hell
Go to hell!
Bridge
[instrumental, same chords as chorus]
[Verse 3, same as others]
I have every expectation
That my final prayer will go unheard
And my veiled deathbed confession
Will not move the mighty Lord
And I'm sure that I'll be sorry
When he slams St. Peter's gate
But I'll dive right into damnation
With a smile across my face!
Chorus
'Cause I made a deal with the devil
And when I die
I'm goin' straight to hell!
Oh yeah!
I'm goin' straight to hell!
Oh yeah!
I'm goin' straight to hell!
