Em7  A7   D        A7       F#m     Bm 
Is there anyone around who cannot see? 
A7       Bm               F#m  A7/9        Edim   Bm 
It's the well-known run around that you're giving me; 
G    G/F#        Em7    A7/9  G    D 
I suppose you'll tell me I'm all wrong. 
Em7  A7  D             A7    F#m         Bm 
It's a  bitter pill to take, coming from you, 
A7           Bm           F#m  A7/9 Edim   Bm 
Though I've made a big mistake, what can I do 
G      G/F#        Em7     A7/9  Edim  D Cdim  Em7  Bbm9  A7  A7/13- 
I don't know what makes me string along. 
D F#m      Cdim A7  Bm         F#7      G    A7 
I    don't want you,   but I'd hate to lose you,  
D      D6 D7/9 G9 G  Em7 Edim  G    G/F#    Em7  A7/9  D   F#7 G A7/13- 
You've got me  in between the devil and the deep blue sea.  
D F#m    Cdim A7  Bm         F#7       G   A7 
I     forgive you,   'cause I can't forget you,  
D      D6 D7/9 G9 G  Em7 Edim  G    G/F#    Em7  A7/9  D   D7 
You've got me  in between the devil and the deep blue sea.  
G5 G/F#    Em7       Am7    D7/9 
I ought to cross you off my list,  
G5       G/F#      Em7    Am7    D7/9 
But when you come knocking at my door,  
G    G/F#     G/B  Em7 C       B7 
Fate seems to give my heart a twist  
Em B+      Em7     Em6       A7 
And I come running back for more.  
D F#m       Cdim A7  Bm        F#7     G   A7 
I    should hate you,   but I guess I love you,  
D      D6 D7/9 G9 G  Em7 Edim  G    G/F#    Em7  A7/9  D    
You've got me  in between the devil and the deep blue sea.
