The Devil Is My Running Mate

    Em          Am      Em
The Devil is my running mate
                     Am       Em
And this here is his favorite state
    Am
I'm sorry you folks had to wait
   Em              Am      Em
He always likes to show up late


No that ain't a rainbow, son
Street lamps on petrolium
Let's pull in here and get us some
Supplies are runnin' out now

It ain't the reason for the war
That's meanness, boy and nothing more
They tried to do this all before
But Daddy wouldn't let them


CHORUS:
D         Am      C               Em
Sometimes I don't know what I got into D Am C Em And sometimes I can't stand to read my name D Am C Em And sometimes I can only hear their voices D Am C Casting me back from where I came The Devil is my running mate Confusion is his favorite state Surely you folks can relate I know we've gathered here to hate It doesn't matter who we blame As long as you all hear a name All them bastards look the same Everyone is guilty Everybody look away Look away, look away It doesn't matter what I say It's what I do that's shifty CHORUS: And sometimes I don't know what we got into And sometimes I don't think I know a thing And sometimes I can't even see the trees now For the flames, for the flames The Devil is my runnin' mate And this here is his favorite state There ain't no other candidate It wouldn't matter anyway Em Am Em The Devil is my runnin' mate Em Am Em The Devil is my runnin' mate Em Am Em The Devil is my runnin' mate
