VERSE 2:

Em
Compared to some I've been around, but I really tried so hard
     C                           G
That echo chorus lied to me with its
         D        Em
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on


(no arpegg, chords only)
       C             G
In the end I was the mean girl
       D            G
Or somebody's in-between girl

(begin arpegg again)
             Em
Now it's the devil I love
              C                   G
And that's as funny as real love


(chords only)
D  B7


VERSE 3:

            Em       C
I leave the party at three a.m.
 G                D
Alone, thank God
       Em              C
With a valium from the bride
         G        D
It's the devil I love

(begin arpegg again)
          Em
It's the devil I love
              C                   G
And that's as funny as real love
              C                   G
And that's as real as true love


(chords only)
D  B7

     C                           G
That echo chorus lied to me with its

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

     C                           G
That echo chorus lied to me with its
          D        Em
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
