1.This world can take you by the hand 
                 G 
  And tempt the soul of any man 
                D 
  But you can choose your path 
                            A 
  There's two roads you can take 
              D 
  One way is right and one is wrong 
                G 
  The flesh is weak, but love is strong 
            D                      A         D 
  And she's all I see between the devil and me 
 
                D 
C.The gates of hell swing open wide 
            G 
  Invitin' me to step inside 
                 D 
  I'll be your friend, he calls again 
               A 
  I know it's him 
                    D 
  The flames are spreadin' everywhere 
                    G 
  But through the smoke I see ehr there 
        D                      A         D 
  She's all I see between the devil and me 
 
2.I hold her in my arms tonight 
  So safe and warm I close my eyes 
  And a cool breeze blows across our bodies in the dark 
  Outside her reach is my concern 
  Somewhere I know a fire burns 
  And she's all I see between the devil and me 
 
C. 
 
Tag:The gates of hell swing open wide 
  Invitin' me to step inside 
  She's all I see between the devil and me
