Velvet Crowbar

• Em

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

Em                   C 
You're like crack to me, 
D 
I don't want to leave 
Em                  C 
I'm watchin' you sleep, 
D 
Pray you'll start breathin'. 
Am 
My baby's on his, 
               Em 
Eighth life darlin', 
Am 
Stayin' with him, 
            C 
Till the mornin'.

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

Styrofome on the microphone, 
Am 
Can't give it up, 
C 
Can't go it alone. 
Am 
Flame coloured paradise, 
Em 
For you darlin', 
Am 
But death doesn't come, 
C 
With a warning.

Life is a velvet crowbar,

Hittin' you over the head.

You're bleeding syrup amour, 
D 
Bleeding to death.
