Dirty Needles
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 4th fret
Key: F#
[Intro]
G D G D
[Verse 1]
G B
This one goes out to every Romeo who''''s wasting his time
Em C D
Waiting for the junkie angels in the Juliet line
G B
Where Pandora''''s primping pupils paint the perfect Monet
Em C D
Hanging locked away and lonesome next to Dorian Gray
B Em
And as the poison drains my mind
D G B
It leaves me wondering why I can''''t find
C G D
A remedy that suits me well as you
D
It''''s true, my baby''''s born to lose
[Chorus]
C G
Because she''''s bringing out the worst in me
D G
But does the best she can
C G
She''''s casting off the lifeboats
D G
While I''''m sinking as she swims
A D Bm Em
And I''''ve found myself a lover who''''d be better as a friend
C G D G D G D
Cause she plays with dirty needles and she''''s in my arms again
[Verse 2]
G
She''''s from the wrong side of the track marks
B
And I''''m setting my sights
Em C D
On a candy-coated ticket to the train wreck tonight
G B
So I jumped a wallet rehab bound three sheets to the wind
Em C D
While her fire feeds the fever flaming under my skin
B Em
And as the twinkle fades my eyes
D G B
It shapes a face I hardly recognize
C G D
She hides behind the boiling silver spoons
D
Confused, like one who''''s been abused
[Chorus]
C G
Because she''''s dancing ''''round the disco lights
D G
Takes pride in all my shame
C G
The conscience points the fingers
D G
When there''''s no one left to blame
A D Bm Em
Then I''''ll stop and ask in silence if the pleasure''''s worth the pain
C G D G
Cause she plays with dirty needles and she does it all in vain
[Instrumental]
G Bm Em C D
G Bm Em C D
[Bridge]
G
Black clouds, blue skies
D
Little white-line lies
Em C D
Laugh out loud while the river rolls ''''round
G D
Cure for boredom, habit forming
Em C D
Up all night while the river rolls ''''round
Bm Em
And when the tourniquet unwinds
D G D
And all the toxic phantoms run and hide
C G D
From twelve-step fathers juggling the truth
D N.C.
No use, I had to cut her loose
[Chorus]
C G D G
She said \\"A woman is the open wound that vexes every man\\"
C G D G
Then softly kissed her scorpion and placed it in my hand
Am D
Then she locked me in her magic lamp
Bm Em
My wish is her demand
C G
Cause she plays with dirty needles
D G
And she fits the glass syringe
C G
Yes she plays with dirty needles
D
And she''''s in my arms
G
again
