     Cm                           G#
It's useless, don't do this, it's hubris to try
     D#                          A#
He's ruthless, you knew this, I told you, didn't I?
     Cm                     G#
He's abusive, elusive, the truth is he lies
   D#                         A#
I know you don't want to let go

    Cm                      G#
And just like before, I can see that you're sure
         D#                         A#
You can change him, but I know you won't

Chorus:
                  Cm
The devil doesn't bargain
                      G#
He'll only break your heart again
                   D#
It isn't worth it, darling
                  A#
He's never gonna change
                       Cm
He'll never be Prince Charming
                   G#
He'll only do you harm again
                 D#
I don't mean to meddle
                       A#
But the devil doesn't settle

Mm-mm-mm-mm

I'm not one to lecture, talk down to a friend
I don't mean to pressure, mean to condescend
But I just want what's best for you in the end
I know you don't want to let go

And just like before, I can see that you're sure
You can change him, but I know you won't

The devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm

Fm              D#           G#         A#
And I know you think he'll change this time
Fm                D#       G#  A#
But I think that you will find

Chorus

Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
