VERSE 1
                 B7
Cleaning out the darkest corners of my mind
       D                           E
Taking all of my full circles, and making straight lines
                    B7
Been getting to the bottom of the bottom getting to me
D                              E
Holding up the mirror, to everything I don't want to see
       D                      E                            B5
But it ain't all flowers, sometimes you gotta feel the thorns
             D                        E                         B5
And when you play with the devil, you know you're gonna get the horns
 
B7 B7 B7
 
VERSE 2
                      B7
Been dancing with the demons all my life
      D                          E
Every time I find my grove, they cut in like a knife
           B7
Been a sin eater since the day I was born
         D                                                  E
Tired of feeling weighed down, from carrying 'round all the pain that keeps me torn
D                E              B5
So I pray when I lay me down to die
       D                                         E                            B5
Grab a glass of wine, and a seat to dine, and go ahead and eat the whole damn pie
 
B7 B7 B7 B7

CHORUS
D
It ain't all flowers
E                             B5
Sometimes you gotta smell the thorns
             D                        E                         B5
And when you play with the devil, you know you're gonna get the horns
