Oh Father forgive me for what I have done
      Cm                 G         G7
Drove 200 miles for six inches of love

        B                           G
And he shined like the neon in the town's only bar

Slick as the needle and slim as the scar

Oh I lost friends to heroin plenty more to loving them

 B                 G7              Cm
Strung out on the highway like we couldn't read the signs
Fb                       G
Now that I Am older and burned a little colder

   B           G7              Cm
I know how to read betwen the lines

        Fb                            G
But the only time I get these guilty thoughts
                   B       Cm
Is when the pills wear off

And what I call a love affair
                               B    B
They say it was a death of despair

They say I'll get over him I just need time
         Cm                        G              G7
I thank Jesus sent an Angel stuck needles in his thigh

         B                       G
And the old freight trains they whistle and whine
      Cm                                 G                    G
They shake the whole damn house like we did when he was alive

So selfish to fall for yourself and someone
