the devil woke me up.

i think it’s open d, but i can’t remember what i tuned my guitar to. i also sound twangy and exactly like my mother which is strange. press play below or click here to download… i promise, one day i will record something properly. lyrics below….

the devil woke you in your sleep
said its a quarter after ten
you should back to dreaming of me
i said i can’t go back to sleep
with all the shadows in the air
it’s better off with all the lights on

and all i want is you
and all i want is you to feel the truth

and when the devil woke you up
he said that life it isn’t fair
you should go back to writing sad songs
and you just couldn’t shut him up
so you pretended not to care
although it ripped apart your heart strings

and all i want is you
and all i want is you to see the truth

and so the lover died
for a good man was out of her reach
and a blind thought just put her to sleep

and all the ashes in her hair
they became buttercups to wear
they made her feel like she was something
for when the weather starts to turn
and blows hot air into balloons
she’ll wake up happy and obsessed

and all i want is you
and all i want is you to be the truth
