^'s And v's indicate strumming direction- ^ is down and v is up (makes sense)

Intro:
Am Csus2 G Gsus4 x4

Am
Met a fine red boned mami
           Csus2   G   Gsus4
She told me that her name was Lucille
Am
Met her on Fountain Avenue
            Csus        G   Gsus4
Sitting on the back of a Cadillac Coupe De Ville
Am
She said, I'm a liar, a thief, I'm a junkie
   Csus2     G  Gsus4
And I used to be a whore
Am
And I've been trying to shake this monkey o long
 Csus2          G   Gsus4
I just can't take it no more

Am
She said I got a weakness
    Csus2      G  Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
 Csus2       G   Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
Am
And I got a weakness
    Csus2      G   Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
   Csus2       G    Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst

Am Csus2 G Gsus4 x2

Am
We talked all afternoon
      Csus2        G  Gsus4
She made me cry, I told some jokes
Am
She looked me deep in my eyes
      Csus2          G     Gsus4
And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax
Am
Her grandmother died when she was five
    Csus2        G  Gsus4
And she never did know her folks
Am
Her father fell in a gun fight
    Csus2      G  Gsus4
And her mother by an overdose

Am
She said I got a weakness
    Csus2      G  Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
 Csus2       G   Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bones
Am
And I got a weakness
    Csus2      G   Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
   Csus2       G    Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2

              Am
She said, I've slept with gangsters
            Csus2
Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors
      Am
I've seen therapists and holy men
     Csus2     G     Gsus4
But this weakness is my only friend
   Am
It feeds my need, it numbs my soul
  Csus4
It starts to creep and take control
 Am
I sell my flesh, I pierce my skin
   Csus2      G   Gsus4
And tomorrow I do it all again


Am
´Cause said I got a weakness
    Csus2      G  Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
 Csus2       G   Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
Am
And I got a weakness
    Csus2      G   Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
   Csus2       G    Gsus4  Am
Just waiting for it to burst
