G 
Cocaine flame in my bloodstream 
                    C 
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
[Strophe]
 C 
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes 
                     G 
In the early mornin' rain  
G 
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine 
                        C 
My eyes been stung with dust and blind 
  
Held you in my arms one time 
                  G 
Lost you just the same

Well, I ain't about to go straight, it's too late 
      G 
And I found myself face down in the ditch 
D 
Booze in my hair, blood on my lips  
Em 
A picture of you holding a picture of me 
       C                 G    D 
In the pocket of my blue jeans 
Em          D          C 
Still don't know what love means 
Em          D           C               Am      D 
Still don't know what love means

G 
It's been so long since I've seen your face 
                       C 
Or felt a part of this human race 
  
I've been living out of this here suitcase 
            G 
For way too long  
G 
Man needs something he can hold onto 
                      C 
Nine pound hammer or a woman like you 
                        G 
Either one of them things will do
