    BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND ME       Alan Jackson

D
This world can take you by the hand
D              G
And tempt the soul of any man
G         D
You can choose your path
D                          A
There's two roads you can take
 A       D
One is right one is wrong
 D        G
Flesh is weak but love is strong
G      D                      A       D
She's all I see between the devil and me

CHORUS:
D
The gates of hell swing open wide
D         G           D
Inviting me to step inside
D                     D
I'll be your friend  he calls again
D            A
I know it's him
A                 D
The flames are spreading everywhere
D            G                D
Through the smoke I see her there
D                             A       D
She's all I see between the devil and me

lead
D
I hold her in my arm tonight
D            G
So safe and warm I close my eyes
G      D                                           A
And a cool breeze blows across our bodies in the dark
A             D
Outside her reach is my concern
D            G
Somewhere I know the fire burns
G      D                      A        D
She's all I see between the devil and me

Chorus, to ending

ENDING:
D
The gates of hell swing open wide
D        G             D
Inviting me to step inside
D                             A       D
She's all I see between the devil and me
