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
