[Intro]
G F C G F C G
[Verse]
G C G
He swore it was over, all in his past
C G Em
A few hours later, his hands 'round the glass
G C G
Voice on the left says there's peace in the wine
C F
From the right a voice whispers don't give in this time
D C G
When he looks for the answer down in his heart
C G F C
Demons and angels tear him apart
G C G
She calls his name softly, as she lies in their bed
C G Em
Listens for footsteps and prays for the best
G C G
She knows that he loves her, knows that he tries
C F
But if he comes home drkin' she'll leave him tonight
D C G
She waits for the answer and cries in the dark
C G
While demons and angels tear him apart
[Bridge]
Bb F C G
For so long they've fought for his soul
C G D
The whiskey and the woman at home
Bb F C G
And they all know he must choose the winner
Em
Alone
[Instrumental]
G F C G F C
G C G
There's not much that's sweeter than a new life begun
C F
Ain't much that's sadder than a promise undone
D C G
He stares at the bottle, longs for her arms
C G
While demons and angels tear him apart
D C G
When he looks for the answer down in his heart
G C G
There's demons and angels that tear him apart
