Am         C G      D     Am
Hypnotize me, mesmerize me
             C      G Am
Feel my willpower slip
             C  G           D  Am
Light my fire, with cold desire
            C   G
Losing all my grip

Eat my diamonds (Eat my diamonds)
Drinking all my gin
Feast your eyes on (Feast your eyes on)
A whole lot of sin

E              D       A
Oh no, you're so damn wicked
E                       C G
You got me by the throat
E                 D         A
Oh no, got your claws stuck in me
E                    D
You'll never let me go

Chorus:
    Am                    D
I believe you're the devil
    Am                  G      D
I believe you're the devil's child
    Am                    D
I believe you're the devil
    Am                  G      D
I believe you're the devil's child

Took my dreams and now it's seems
You're nothing but a liar
Smash and grab at all I had
Build my funeral pyre
Stop pretending (Stop pretending)
Got me growing old
Your torment is (Your torment is)
Fit to snap my soul

Oh no, you're so damn wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no, got your claws stuck in me
You'll never let me go

Chorus

C#m          B
You took my heart and left it
  A             B   C#m
blown to smithereens
           B          A  B
I gave my body as a slave
C#m          B
You cut my flesh and drank
     A                     B   C#m
my blood that poured in streams
                B        A      B
I'm left here broken and ashamed

Going under, hear the thunder
Death defying grace
Your condition breeds ammunition
Shoots me in the face
Vicious talking (Vicious talking)
Stabs me like a knife
Scratched and bruised (So abused)
I'm a human sacrifice

Oh no, you're so damn wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no, got your claws stuck in me
You'll never let me go

Chorus:
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child

I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child
I believe you're the devil
I believe.
I can't stand it anymore
