Well, I'm tired of hearing voices, I don't wanna hear no more.
F C G
So call somebody, baby... I'll be useless in the morning.
Am
My heart is all in tatters, I ain't nobody's saint.
F C G
I'm just trying not to call you, trying not to call you.
Am Dm
And I learned the rules out with the wolves.
C G
I'm vicious now, honey, cruel and unprincipled.
Am Dm C Am G
With tears in my eyeballs, wine on my lips, uh huh.
C
And all my love, my love, is a plague.
G
Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?
Am
I throb and wince and weep, just the same...
F C
I can't feel a thing
G Am
ain't that a shame?
Am
Now somebody hit the lights, get the ropes and medicines
F C G
And think about it, sugar, and how it's gonna end.
Am
Last night I was freezing, tonight I'm soaking wet.
F C G
Well, I must've had a fever, salivating in my bed.
Am Dm
And I learned the rules out with the wolves.
C G
I'm vicious now, honey, dumb and insatiable.
Am Dm C Am G
With tears in my eyeballs, your name on my lips, uh huh.
C
And all my love, my love, is a plague.
G
Ain't that a shame? Ain't that a shame?
Am
I throb and wince and weep, just the same...
F C
I can't feel a thing
G Am
ain't that a shame?
Am G Am F
And all my love, she's a plague... ain't that a shame?
C
And you know you're gonna wait so long, time slips away.
G
Till you can't feel the kick, my, how we've changed.
Am F
I stood on the platform, waiting in vain... blue light, my baby...
C
And all my love, my love is a plague.
G
Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame?
Am
Like poisonous fingers right in your veins,
F
Who do you love? Who do you blame?
C
Nobody knows what trouble I'm in.
G
Ain't that a shame, ain't it a shame?
Am
My poisonous fingers inside your veins,
F C
They gonna get you someday...
G Am
Now ain't that a shame?
