[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse]
C
A little outside of Elizabethtown
There’s a little bar where I’d sit down
F C
And trade a couple country songs for Kentucky Bourbon
C
A little ol’ gal in the middle of the night
Learning how to love and learning how to fight
F C
And learning how to like my brand of hurting
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
F N.C. C C
I’m just sticking with the devil I know
[Chorus]
F
Momma says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
C
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
F
Everybody’s got something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
Am G F
But I got something to say of my own
F
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
F C
I’m just sticking with the devil I know
[Verse]
C
I love somebody everybody loves
And he’s in love with my messed up
F C
Most folks can’t see my soul through the smoke
C
And we’re suitcase marks on a hardwood floor
Flipping the bird, slamming the door
F C
And feeling out and turning 'round and coming home
[Pre-Chorus]
G
And hell there's hell everywhere I go
F C
So I’m sticking with the devil I know
[Chorus]
F
Momma says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
C
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
F
Everybody’s got something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
Am G F
But I got something to say of my own
[Break] (ACAPELLA)
There's higher roads that I rode
And better choices than I chose
C C C C
I’m just sticking with the devil I know
[Instrumental/Solo]
F
Hey-hey hey hey hey
C
Hey heeey hey hey
F
Woah oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
F
Momma says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
C
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
F
Everybody’s got something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
Am G F
But I got something to say of my own
[Outro]
F F
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
F
I’m just sticking with the devil I know
