Snakebite

Intro: Am

Am
I heard about the venom
C
At a broke down Five and Dime
Dm
The rain cried down the window
E
Just like those tears of mine


Am
Just then a gray haired woman
C
Sat down right next to me
Dm
She heard me cry and looked in my 
eye
E
And said, "Baby, I got what you 
need"


Dm
You need a snakebite
              Am
And once you get that venom in your 
veins
Dm
They'll come alive
             Am
I know just what you go through 
every day
C                        E
That pain inside, I can make it 
right
Am
With the snakebite


Am
She handed me a map with streets
C
I said, "I've never seen"
Dm
And she told me, "My friend, this 
town has secrets

E
Darker than you could ever dream"


Am
I went to some back alley
C
Behind a liquor store
Dm
If someone had told me how tight it 
would hold me
E
I never would have open the door


Dm
I got the snakebite
           Am
And once I had that venom in my 
veins
Dm
I came alive
                    Am
Oh, you don't know what I go through
 everyday
C                           E
The pain inside, I'm gonna make it 
right
Am
With the snakebite


Dm
My momma told me
                 Am
Baby, be wary of evil ones
                         Dm
Who want to ensnare the heavy 
hearted
                     Am
Into their webs and feed upon their 
souls
      E
Oh momma, I hope you never know


Am
It hasn't been a year now
C
And all my hair is gray
Dm
You know, it's funny
       E
But I don't remember my own name


Am
I'd go and hurt that woman
C
Who put this pain in me
Dm
But my heart is weak, it wants that 
venom
E
She comes around 'cause she knows I 
need


Dm
The snakebite
            Am
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my 
veins
Dm
To feel alive
                    Am
Oh, you don't know what I go through
 every day
C                            E
This pain inside, I'm gonna make it 
right
Dm
With the snakebite
                       Am
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my 
veins
Dm
And come alive
                    Am
Oh, you don't know what I go through
 every day
C                            E
That pain inside, I'm gonna make it 
right
Am
With the snakebite
E                    Am
Oh, I got the snakebite
