REPEAT +1 OCTAVE
F C/E Dm Dm/C
Dust settles on a thin cloud
Bb FC
Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd
Bb Dm Eb
I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours
Bb/D C/E F C/G C6/A C7/Bb C6/A C
Staring at a line of white powder
F C/E Dm Dm/C
High-priced madness pays the tab
Bb F C7
I've scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag
Bb Dm Eb
I'm a catatonic son of a bitch who's had
Bb/D C/E F C/G C6/A C7/Bb C6/A C
A touch too much of white powder
Bb C F C/A
And she's a habit I can't handle
Bb C F C/A
For a reason I can't say
Bb C Dm C/A
I'm in love with a wild white lady
Bb C F
She's as sweet as the stories say
C/E Dm C
White powder white lady
Bb
You're one and the same
Am Dm /C
Come on down to my house won't you
Bb C F
And hit this boy again
INTRO AGAIN
Shock waves to a tired brain
sends that hungry lady to my door again
She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain
Entertaining white powder
I feel I'm dry-docked and tongue-tied
Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride
I might just escape while the others might die
Riding on a high of white powder
F Dm
White powder, white lady,
Bb C F
Hit this boy again
