(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
|(D) / / / | x 4

(Verse)
   D
A (D)little outside of Elizabethtown, there’s a little bar where I’d sit down
And trade a (G)couple country songs for Kentucky (D)Bourbon
A (D)little ol’ gal in the middle of the night, learning how to love and learning how to fight
And (G)learning how to like my brand of hurting (D)

(Pre-Chorus)
(A)Hell, there's hell everywhere I go, 
I’m just (G)sticking with the devil I know (D) / / / |(D) / / / |

(Chorus)
(G)Momma says get my ass to church, daddy says get my ass to work
(D)Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
(G)Everybody’s got something to say about how I gotta change my ways
But (Bm)I got something to (A)say of my (G)own
(G)Hell there's hell everywhere I go, I’m just sticking with the devil I know (D)

(Verse)
(D)I love somebody everybody loves, and he’s in love with my messed up
(G)Most folks can’t see my soul through the smoke (D)
And we’re (D)suitcase marks on a hardwood floor, flipping the bird, slamming the door
And feeling (G)out and turning 'round and coming home (D)

(Pre-Chorus)
And (A)hell there's hell everywhere I go
So I’m (G)sticking with the devil I know (D)

(Chorus)
(G)Momma says get my ass to church, daddy says get my ass to work
(D)Doctor says I gotta give up on these (D/F#)smokes (Em) (G) (D/F#) (D)
(G)Everybody’s got something to say about how I gotta change my ways
But (Bm)I got something to (A)say of my (G)own

(Break) (Acapella)
There's higher roads that I rode and better choices than I chose
I’m just sticking with the devil I know |(D) / / / |(D) / /

(Solo)
Hey, hey, (G) hey, hey, hey, (D) hey
(G)Woah, oh oh oh oh

(Chorus)
(G)Momma says get my ass to church, daddy says get my ass to work
(D)Doctor says I gotta give up on these (D/F#)smokes (Em) (G) (D/F#) (D)
(G)Everybody’s got something to say about how I gotta change my ways
But (Bm)I got something to (A)say of my (G)own

(Outro.)
Hell there’s (G)hell everywhere I go (G)
I’m just sticking with (G) the devil I know - - - - -
