Devices

A 
I'm as far away as I can get 
                              E 
From the man on the other side of this queen size 
A 
bed 
A 
He'd pull me close if I'd let him 
                                  E       A 
But I pulled the sheets between us instead 

F#m7       E        A       D 
Gotta fill the space somehow 
F#m7          E      A     D 
And he'll have to do for now 
F#m7        E        A        D 
Little trick for when I'm down 
F#m7       E      A 
But I wish that it was you 

A 
I'm as high as a holy roller 
                               E           A 
Speaking tongues to the shadows in my room 
A 
And the answer's up above me 
                                  E        A 
I've got one more line and nothing to lose 

F#m7            E    A       D 
I've been racing with the sun 
F#m7       E     A        D 
I can't win but i can numb 
F#m7         E         A         D 
And the taste that's on my tongue 
F#m7       E       A 
Well I wish that it was you 

D                          A                   E 
They're not my own devices if they're owning me 
D                         A                     E 
I give em all I got they say they'll set me free 

A 
I'm staring straight down the barrel 
                                 E              A 
Of the lonely half of this double shotgun house 
A 
I'll walk these floors straight and narrow 
                               E           A 
But I can't say no when trouble comes along 

F#m7       E     A        D 
Cuz I built a home for two 
F#m7        E        A         D 
But it's me here with the truth 
F#m7           E        A     D 
And the voice I hear is cruel 
F#m7      E       A 
And I wish that it was you
