Devil In The Details

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

Verse 1
DmI Earned A Reputation With A Colt's Revolver By My Side
GmFolks All Knew My Name, DmA Texas Ranger's Pride
DmI Chose To Ride With Strangers Through The Bitter Prairie Wind
Said GmThey Were Rough Men, But They Still Acted As My DmFriends

Verse 2
DmI Told Myself They'd Change Before The Journey's End
My GmSteady Hand Beside Them Was My DmDuty As A Friend
DmI Leaned Upon My Reputation But Never Stopped To Pray
Never GmSaw The Crooked Trail BeDmneath My Horse That Day

Pre-Chorus
CNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The DmEnd  Dm​

Chorus 1
DmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And FLow
Wearing Pride And CCertainty On Every Trail We DmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful FSoul
The Devil's In The CDetails, One Step And Then You'll DmKnow

Dm  Dm  Dm  Dm

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

Verse 4
DmI Will Ride Away Tomorrow But Tomorrow Never Came
Each CSunrise Found An Excuse To DmShelter Me From My Shame
DmI Never Fired A Shot, Never Helped To Plan Their Crimes
But With CEvery Silent Moment I Helped Them Cross That DmLine

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

Bridge
DmNot COne Man Had Forced My Hand, No DmOne Had Chained My Soul
I CTraded Truth For Safety, I Now AmPay The Price With My Soul

Pre-Chorus
CNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The DmEnd

Chorus 2
DmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And FLow
Wearing Pride And CCertainty On Every Trail We DmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful FSoul
The Devil's In The CDetails, Until We Face The Gallows DmPole  Dm​

Outro-spoken
DmI Spent My Life Believing I Knew The Difference
DmBetween Justice And Righteousness
DmLord, I Have No Excuse

Thank You For Bearing The Weight That I Never Could
DmMmm--FMm    CMmmmm
Christ Bore The DmWeight I Could Not FBear
His Mercy CFound Me Waiting DmThere
Mmmm  FMmmmm  CMmmm--DmMm
