Verse 1
     Fm
In a police car I feel so very small
  Eb                        Bb                  Fm
I see my lover's face and I watch her teardrops fall
      Fm
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
  Eb                            Bb              Fm
I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back


Chorus 1
           Bb              Ab                      Fm
And in the end, you know a dope fiend ain't got no friends
      Bb          Ab                   Fm
And a junkie is a junkie to the bitter end
        Bb                  Ab                  Fm
Hope to die now, 'cause you know I'm better off dead
    Bb                 Ab                Fm
Hey brother, won't you lend me a helpin' hand?


Verse 2
I tie myself off, shoot it in my veins
I feel like marlon brando and I've hid another day's pain
I'm goin' back where it's safe, goin' back to the womb
I find my mother's comfort, here in a needle and spoon

Chorus 2
And christmas for a dope fiend ain't no fun
Waitin' for good times that seem to never come
Goin' out now, gonna get myself a gun
Please stop me, don't you know I'm on a run?
