intro:  2x E A E D

	(1x guitar only, then the entire band)


E     A                E   D
I cannot get a look at it
         E           A           E      D
so, I'm burning them on the deal anyway
   E            A             E           D
I see her come down from the top of the stairs
   G                                     A
I guess that I'd be cool, but there's a tickle in my veins
G                                     A
I've been a real good tombstone, but now I'm blowing away


She is like an eye-blue swimming pool
but she will never know that she is there
we sit together drunk like our fathers used to be
I'm looking up and God is saying, "What are you gonna do?"
I'm looking up and I'm crying, "I thought it was up to you!"


          C
        She's like heroin to me
          A
        she's like heroin to me
          C
        she's like heroin to me
             E    G        E   A  E  D  E  A  E  D
        she cannot miss a vein


Don't let her take her love to town
they will never fill her heart
she needs a passion like her father's used to be
I know, because I'm like the train shooting down the mainline
I know, because I'm like the Indian wind along the telegraph lines


        And she's like heroin to me
        she's like heroin to me
        she's like heroin to me
             E    G        E   A  E  D  E  A  E  D
        she cannot miss a vein .....             so mainline it!


instrumental:  2x G A


I cannot get a look at it
so I'm blowing back my trouble to the east
while we sit together sad like our fathers used to be
I know a perfect run by the sleep it puts in my heart
I know my special rider, I can feel her in the dark


        she's like heroin to me
        she's like heroin to me
        she feels like heroin to me
             E    G        E   A  E  D
        she cannot miss a vein


        she's like heroin to me
        she's like heroin to me
        she feels like heroin to me
             E    G        E
        she cannot miss a vein
