F#m                          B7
Open up your eyes, take the devil from your mind
Bm7                              A         G       F#m
He's been holding on to you and you're so hard to find

The wind outside is cold, restless feeling in my soul
Tempting me to get away but there's no place a man can go

Chorus:
 D                     F#m
God, will you lead me where I roam?
 D                     B7          F#m
Help me not to let my feelings show

You are the one, oh, how could you be so blind?
The devil preys on runaways, he's never far behind

The many years I've tried now have been revealed to me
Closer is the love you'll find waiting so patiently

Chorus

F#m
Take the devil
Take the devil
           B7 D A G F#m
From your mind
