D 
Sometimes whiskey, sometimes pills 
D 
The silly things I need to get my thrills 
          Em             G 
Sometimes women are like cocaine 
       D 
Got to have 'em more and more every day 

         G          D 
Yeah the man in the mirror 
         A                 D 
Ain't no man like I oughta be 
        G           D 
Tell me why can't I see 
         A                      D 
When the devil gets the best of me 


I've left heartaches, thought they'd mend 
I know how to lose some real good friends 
I get angry, I stay mad 
Can't get happy with this life I have 


CHORUS 


D  D/C# 


BRIDGE: 
    Bm                        A 
Now I'm a little wiser than I was back 
    G               A         D    D/C# 
But still I'm stumblin' every day 
          Bm                        A                          G 
Tryin' to walk a little straighter, tryin' to find a way to forgive 


CHORUS (2x) 

        G           D 
Tell me why can't I see 
         A                      D 
When the devil gets the best of me
