C G D A11/E Dm

[Verse 1]

C                                     D
I know playin' with fire will get you burned
G                                       Dm
You'd think that'd be a lesson that I've learned
D                                  C
It goes back to the start of God's creation
G                                       D    Dm
That old whisper has a name, it's called temptation

[Chorus]

D                          Am
It's down a dead end road, straight to nowhere's where it goes
C                                G                D Dm
When the high is gone, you'll be left out in the rain
D Dm                  C
Soakin' wet with sin, on your knees and you'll begin prayin'
G
for a way
F                 G           Dm  D
To go back to the day before temptation

[Verse 2]

C                                    D Dm
It'll dress you up in 100 dollar bills
F              G                             Dm
It'll make you smell like whiskey and cheap thrills
D                                       C
Keep one hand on the wheel or you'll be taken
F                        G             Dm
On a shotgun ride with a driver called temptation

[Chorus]

D                     Am
Down a dead end road, straight to nowhere's where it goes
C                               G                   D  Dm
When the gas is gone, you'll be left out in the rain
D Dm                C                               C
Soakin' wet with sin
D Dm              C
On your knees and you'll begin prayin'
G
for a way
F                     G      Dm  D
To go back to the day before temptation

[Verse 3]

A#
Oh don't you let it catch you by surprise
C     Dm
It'll stab you in the back just like a knife
A#
It'll take your house, your kids and your wife
C                       A
Brother if you let him, he'll damn sure take your life

[Chorus]

Dm  D                      Am
It's down a dead end road, straight to nowhere's where it goes
C                          G                          D  Dm
When the thrill is gone, you'll be left out in the rain
D Dm
Soakin' wet with sin
C
On your knees and you'll begin prayin'
G
for a way
F                 G          D
To go back to the day before temptation
F                  G                     F       D
There ain't no way to go back to the day before temptation
