Johnny Cash - The Devil To Pay: chords

       C              Am
Go on girl take your chances
         Dm                             G7
See how long you can go on from man to man
       E                                  Am
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
        D                                  G7
And I know it's time to fold this loosing hand
               C            G7         C               G7
Cause you're drawn to the flame by the thrill and the shame
         C                 F                 G7
Of the cheatin' game they taught you how to play
            C          E             Am      F
You've got nothing to lose but your soul girl
          C          G7       Am
And you've only the devil to pay

Chorus:
               G7
'You've been flying so high you don't know
                           C
That you're blind to the writin' on the wall
          D7
But some day you'll look down
                                        G7
And you'll find you've got no place to fall
           C               G7              C        G7
When the bright lights're gone you'll be standing alone
    C            F              G7
Forsaken in the naked light of day
              C                E             Am  F
Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying
          C               G7       Am
And you've still got the devil to pay

Join your friends while you got them
Cause you know they're gettin' fewer every day
You can't wait to let them take you to the bottom
And I'm getting tired of standing in your way
But when you hit the ground don't come looking around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That's the price of the high life you're living
And you still got the devil to pay
