Dm C Bb

[Verse 1]
            D
It’s like a magic
            A
I've got to have it
         Bb
Whatever lies out of reach of me
         D
And to despise it
          A
Just magnifies it
      Bb
Can't obliterate the need
Bm
Bad news disguised
                         Em
Dressed and painted with lies (but I just can't see)
     Bm
When truth is concealed
               Em
How the danger appeals but my conscience sees

[Chorus]
                    D
I heard it from the preacher man
        C              G
He said leave that boy alone (he's no good for you)
                    D
I heard it from the preacher man
        C
He said heaven must have sent you
        G
But the devil's gonna get you
                     A5
He's gonna do it for you

[Verse 2]
       D
You're like a black cat
           A
Who always knows that
     Bb
It's life is a mystery
           D
You mesmerise me
                   A
And then you hypnotise me
         Bb
Till obsession devours me
       Bm
You're silky words soothe me as they move me
Em
To ecstasy
Bm
And just as I'm falling
                   Em
I hear a voice calling don't believe

[Chorus]
                    D
I heard it from the preacher man
        C              G
He said leave that boy alone (he's no good for you)
                    D
I heard it from the preacher man
        C
He said heaven must have sent you
        G
But the devil's gonna get you
                     Bb5
He's gonna do it for you
