Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Words & Music by Harold Arlen & Ted Koehler, 1931
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1964
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+5
I don't know what makes me string a - long.
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+5
You've got me in be - tween 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 be - tween 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 be - tween the devil and the deep blue sea.
