Am   G    D/F#  F

[Verse 1]
            Am
It's just a little red wine,
G              D/F# F
I'll be fine
           Am
Not like I wanna do this
G             D/F# F
every night
          Am              G
I've been good, don't I deserve it?
          D/F#
I think I earned it,
                F
feels like it's worth it
      Am   G  D/F#  F
In my mind,  mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm          C    E7           F
  Twisted reality, hopeless insanity
Dm                 C              E7
  I told you I was okay but I was lying

[Chorus]
     Am                 G      D/F#
I was  dancing with the devil
           F
Out of control
Am                  G
  Almost made it to heaven
   D/F#            F
It was closer than you know
Am                 G
  Playing with the enemy
D/F#             F
   Gambling with my soul
Dm             C           Bm
  It's so hard to say no
            E7               Am    G
When you're dancing with the devil

Mmm,
Am  G       D/F#  F
      Yeah, yeah

It's just a little white line,
G             D/F# F
I'll be fine
              Am
But soon that little white line
     G                  D/F# F
is a little glass pipe
Am               G
Tin foil remedy, almost got

the best of me

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – G – D/F# – F (i – VII – IV – VI in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
