Devil In The Details

Intro-spoken
EmOut On The Frontier, Folks Said Justice Rode With A Badge-Or A Rope
Most Believed That Was Enough—So Did I

Verse 1
EmI Earned A Reputation With A Colt's Revolver By My Side
AmFolks All Knew My Name, EmA Texas Ranger's Pride
EmI Chose To Ride With Strangers Through The Bitter Prairie Wind
Said AmThey Were Rough Men, But They Still Acted As My EmFriends

Verse 2
EmI Told Myself They'd Change Before The Journey's End
My AmSteady Hand Beside Them Was My EmDuty As A Friend
EmI Leaned Upon My Reputation But Never Stopped To Pray
Never AmSaw The Crooked Trail BeEmneath My Horse That Day

Pre-Chorus
DNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The EmEnd  Em​

Chorus 1
EmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And GLow
Wearing Pride And DCertainty On Every Trail We EmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful GSoul
The Devil's In The DDetails, One Step And Then You'll EmKnow

Em  Em  Em  Em

Verse 3
EmThen I Saw The Truth Beneath A Campfire's Dying Light
An AmOld Man Left For Dead Because He EmDared To Do What's Right
I Reached Down For My Six-Gun, Then Slowly Let It Fall  Am​
Fear Can Sound Like A Reason When The EmDarkness Starts To Fall

Verse 4
EmI Will Ride Away Tomorrow But Tomorrow Never Came
Each DSunrise Found An Excuse To EmShelter Me From My Shame
EmI Never Fired A Shot, Never Helped To Plan Their Crimes
But With DEvery Silent Moment I Helped Them Cross That EmLine

Verse 5
EmThe Law Came Riding Underneath A Blistering Blood-Red Sky
Our AmTrail Had Run Out As EmWe All Tried To Hide
EmThe Rope Was Waiting Quietly Where The Cottonwoods Held Sway
And Every Am Choice I'd Justified Stood BeEmside Me There That Day

Bridge
EmNot DOne Man Had Forced My Hand, No EmOne Had Chained My Soul
I DTraded Truth For Safety, I Now BmPay The Price With My Soul

Pre-Chorus
DNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The EmEnd

Chorus 2
EmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And GLow
Wearing Pride And DCertainty On Every Trail We EmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful GSoul
The Devil's In The DDetails, Until We Face The Gallows EmPole  Em​

Outro-spoken
EmI Spent My Life Believing I Knew The Difference
EmBetween Justice And Righteousness
EmLord, I Have No Excuse

Thank You For Bearing The Weight That I Never Could
EmMmm--GMm    DMmmmm
Christ Bore The EmWeight I Could Not GBear
His Mercy DFound Me Waiting EmThere
Mmmm  GMmmmm  DMmmm--EmMm
