"I cannot get a look at it
so, I'm burning them on the deal anyway
I see her come down from the top of the stairs"

Riff 2: {G5 A} x2
"I guess that I'd be cool, but there's a tickle in my veins
I've been a real good tombstone, but now I'm blowing away"

Riff 1 x3
"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 I'm crying, "I thought it was up to you!""

she's like heroin to me
she's like heroin to me
she cannot miss a vein"

they will never fill her heart
she needs a passion like her father's used to be"

I know, because I'm like the Indian wind along the telegraph lines"

she's like heroin to me
she's like heroin to me
she cannot miss a vein"

"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 puits in my heart
I know my special rider, I can feel her in the dark"

Riff 3

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

she feels like Heroin to me
she's like Heroin to me
she cannot miss a vein"
