Demon in Disguise
©2003 Garrett Clevenger

G                She used to be an angel in my mind.
G    C         I thought about her mostly all the time.
C                She gave me kisses on the lips
G                and took me on her nightly trips.
Am    D      I wanted nothing more than her sunshine.

G                But now so many different things have changed.
G    C         The patterns of her flight have rearranged.
C                Instead of being here at night
G                I’m left alone ‘til morning’s light.
Am    D      Feeling like a madman who’s deranged.

Chorus:
C    Em
                 I cry, cry cry like all the other guys.
Am    G                I pine and wait and want with all the rest.
C  Em                   Perhaps one day we all will meet
Am  G                  and with our numbers we will beat this
C Em Am G D    demon in disguise.

G
                Yesterday she flew above my head,
G    C         laughing as her wings around me spread.
C                She drew me closer with her charms
G                and held me tightly in her arms.
Am    D      My heart no longer felt like lead.

G                After she lifted me up high,
G    C         soaring with the clouds into the sky.
C                She let go. Then I fell slow,
G                tearing towards the hell below.
Am    D      Burning in this furnace was my soul.

Chorus:
C    Em
                 I cry, cry cry like all the other guys.
Am    G                I pine and wait and want with all the rest.
C  Em                   Perhaps one day we all will meet
Am  G                  and with our numbers we will beat this
C Em Am G D    demon in disguise.

Jam

G                This angel is a demon in disguise.
G    C         I should have known it by the way she flies.
C                Tickling my heart and soul.
G                What once was mine she now has stole.
Am    D      All I’ve left is wondering where she lies.

Chorus:
C    Em
                 I cry, cry cry like all the other guys.
Am    G                I pine and wait and want with all the rest.
C  Em                   Perhaps one day we all will meet
Am  G                  and with our numbers we will beat this
C Em Am G D    demon in disguise.
