Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon cloud nine

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

'Cause I made a deal with the devil

And when I die

I'm goin' straight to hell!

Verse

Standin' at the crossroad

He offered wine, women and song

A riches, fame and fortune

In my hands from that day on

(Same as last paragraph)

I was granted there and then

A life of rock & roll

And it seemed like such a bargain

For just one eternal soul

Pre-chorus

I know I'll curse this damn decision

And I'll regret it 'till the moment I fall

But I'll be makin' the most of a bad situation

Until my number's called

Chorus

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

Oh we'll have no time upon cloud nine

Heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

'Cause I made a deal with the devil

And when I die

I'm goin' straight to hell!

Oh yeah!

I'm goin' straight to hell!

[Verse 2, same chords as first verse]

There's times I swear I've come out on top

In this ill conceived contract

And there's nights I say it's a small price to pay

For the life and times I've had

And I think "Here's to the gents and ladies"

And all the foolish times we spent

They cost me afterlife in paradise

And they were worth every single cent

[Pre-Chorus 2, same chords as first pre-chorus]

So have a dance with the walkin' 'dam

Before my time is done

'Cause a deal is a deal and I don't expect

Fire and brimstone'll be much fun!

Chorus

[Pre-bridge]

I said straight to hell

Go to hell!

Bridge

[instrumental, same chords as chorus]

[Verse 3, same as others]

I have every expectation

That my final prayer will go unheard

And my veiled deathbed confession

Will not move the mighty Lord

And I'm sure that I'll be sorry

When he slams St. Peter's gate

But I'll dive right into damnation

With a smile across my face!

Chorus

'Cause I made a deal with the devil

And when I die

I'm goin' straight to hell!

Oh yeah!

I'm goin' straight to hell!

Oh yeah!

I'm goin' straight to hell!
