The honor roll was all I'd known
Am
'Til you took me over to the dark side
C G
The thrill was good, together we stood
Am
Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde
C G
We'll stay on the run
Am
Forget the bad things we done
C G
We were fit for survival, no books but the Bible

Held out with a gun

C G
My wings turned black, no turning back
Am
Yeah you have me completely
C G
Enriched in you, together we flew
Am
Yeah you're the trap that captured me
C G
And I don't wanna go on
Am
Don't let my momma know
C G
That I'm a ride or die and it feels so right
Am
And I've gone and sold my soul
[Chorus]

If I'm a demon, baby
C Am G
You're the beast that made me

Falling from grace

We're falling oh so gracefully

It's in your nature, girl

You're not to blame

I chose to go with you and

Leave so much shame
