Look away. Look away

Sometimes I can't even see the trees now 
D       Am              C      G6/B  G6  Em 
For the flames, for the flames 

    Em          Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate 
    Em               Am       Em 
And this here is his favorite state 
      Am 
There ain't no other candidate 
   Em              Am     Em 
It wouldn't matter anyway 
    Em          Am      Em 
The devil is my running mate
