[Intro]
1, 2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]
Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind?
Destroyed your notion of circular time?

[Chorus]
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway

[Verse 2]
Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For my friends out on the burial ground
Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down

[Chorus]
It's just that evil life that got me in its sway
It's just that evil life that got me in its sway

[Bridge]
There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out

[Verse 3]
Whoo
Hey, hey, hey now
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah

[Chorus]
It's just that demon life that got me in its sway
It's just that demon life that got me in its sway
It's just that demon life that got me in its sway
(It's just that demon life that got me in its sway)

[Outro]
It's just that demon life has got me

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
