[ Verse 1 ]
F                       Dm
Dust settles on a thin cloud

Bb                        F             C7
Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd

Bb                              Dm                   Eb
  I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours

Staring at a line of white pow-der

Bb                      Dm                              Eb
  I'm a catatonic son of a bitch who's had

                Bb/D              C     F    C  C  C7  C  C
A touch too much of white pow-der

[ Chorus 1 ]
Bb                C       F             F7
  And she's a habit I   can't handle

  For a reason I   can't say

Bb                C               Dm            C
  I'm in love with a wild    white lady

Sends that hungry lady to my door again

Entertaining white pow  der

Bb                        Dm                               Eb
  I might just escape while the others might die
