[Intro ](D G A D)
 
D
There's a new guy in town
 
He's been dragging around
G A D
He's the figure of youth
 
And his eyes are so blue
 
And they're looking at you
G A D
So tell me the truth
G A D G
Well, well, he's got stories to tell
A G D
He bites off more than he chews
G A D G
Well, well, is he ringing your bell
A G D G A D
My heart is breaking in two
 
And his skin is so fair
 
And it shines like his hair
G A D
As he stands so aloof
 
With an indolent air
 
And an idolent stare
G A D
That just shutters the truth
G A D G
Well, well, is he ringing your bell
A G D
My heart is braking in two
G A D G
Well, well, he'll be rotting in hell
A G D
For playing the devil with you
Bm G
Is it already too late
Bm A
No point shutting the gate
Bm G
Have you already swallowed the bait
A D G A D G A D
And your gone
 
As he knocks you down cold
 
As you lose all control
G A D
To this slip of a youth
 
I see fire in his eyes
 
I see ice in his smile
G A D
And i'm learning the truth
G A D G
Well, well, he's got stories to tell
A G D
Of love that is long overdue
G A D G
Well, well, who is under his spell
A G D
Is playing the devil his due
G A D
hum, hum, hum.
