[Verso 1]

Em                    C
I was addicted to you
   G
But I didn't know it
Em                         C
You were afflicted by booze
G                     Em
You didn't show it, huh
                     C
Life is a velvet crowbar
 G                   Em
Hittin' you over the head
                              C
You're bleeding but you want more
  G                     Am
This is so like you, I said
                         C   D
Put yourself on back to bed

[Estribillo]

Em
You're like crack to me

I don't want to leave
C
I'm watchin' you sleep
G
Pray you'll start breathin'
    B7                        Em
My baby's on his eighth life darlin'
C                        D/F#
Stayin' with him till the mornin'

Em
You're like crack to me

So fun I can't see
      C
With your golden grill
G
Your purple dream
    B7                        Em
My baby's on his eighth life darlin'
C                        D/F#
Gonna watch him till the mornin'

Em                  C
I was addicted to you
  G
Didn't wanna blow it
Em                           C
You were a dick with your crew
G
Always on the road
Em                        C
You wanna touch life so hard
G
Why can't you give it a rest?
Em                             C
You're not that bright for a star
G                              Am
Burned yourself out, nothing left
                              C    D
Burned yourself out, nothing left
