D#                Gm      Dm
I've been wasting all my time
               Fm      Cm
with the devil in the details
Cm                     D#
I've got no energy to fight
                Gm     Dm
He's a fucking pal o' mine
                   Fm Cm
that devil in the details

And he's fixing up to take a bite
I don't see the point in trying
I've got the devil in the details
He's gonna teach me wrong from right
That fucking pal o' mine,
the devil in the details

I'm gonna dance with him tonight

Chorus:
            A#                     Fm
All of my wrongs and all my wicked ways
Fm                                     G#
Will come back to haunt me, come what may
               A#                          Fm
For all of the songs I hope to write some day
Fm                               D#
Looks like the devil's here to stay

Let me take you for a ride
with the devil in the details
We'll kiss and tremble with delight
Everything is fine
with the devil in the details

We're gonna dance with him tonight

Chorus

Looks like the devil's here to stay

Chorus

Looks like the devil's here to stay
Looks like the devil's here to stay

I've been wasting all my time
with the devil in the details
