Devils Arcade Chords & Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

[E]Remember the morning we [Bm]dug up your gun
The [D]worms in the barrel, the hanging sun
Those [E]first nervous evenings of [Bm]perfume and gin
The lost [D]smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
The [F#m]rush of your lips, the [D]feel of your name
The [F#m]beat in your heart, the [A]devil's ar[E]cade

You said [E]"Heroes are needed[Bm] , so heroes get made"
Somebody[D] made a bet, somebody paid
The [E]cool desert morning and [Bm]nothing to save
Just [D]metal and plastic where your body caved
The [F#m]slow games of poker with [D]Lieutenant Ray
In the [F#m]ward with the blue walls, a [D]sea with no name
Where you lie [F#m]adrift with the heroes of the [A]devil's ar[E]cade

You [Bm]sleep and you dream, your buddies [F#m]Charlie and James
And wake with a thick desert d[A]ust on your [E]skin

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Verse chords)

[E]Voice says "don't wo[Bm]rry, I'm here
Just [D]whisper the word tomorrow in my ear"
[E]House on a quiet street, a [Bm]home for the brave
A [D]glorious kingdom with the sun on your face
Ri[F#M]sing from a long night as [D]dark as the grave
On a thin [F#m]chain of next moments and s[D]omething like faith
On a [F#m]morning to order a [D]breakfast to make
A [F#m]bed draped in sunshine, a [D]body that waits
For the [F#m]touch of your fingers, the [D]end of the day
The [F#m]beat of your heart, the [D]beat of your heart
The [F#m]beat of your heart, the [D]beat of your heart
The [F#m]beat of your heart, the [D]beat of her heart
The [F#m]beat of your heart, the slow [D]burning away
Of the[F#m] bitter fires of the [A]devil's ar[E]cade
