         G#
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
                            D#
and all I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm livin' at a pace that kills

Chorus:
B/D# C#/D# F#/D# G#/D# D#
                      Runnin' with the devil
B/D# C#/D# F#/D# G#/D# D#
                      Runnin' with the devil

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waitin' at home

Chorus

You know I
I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waiting at home

Chorus - x3
