Snakebite Chords & Lyrics by Audra Mae
Snakebite
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: Am
Am
I heard about the venom
C
At a broke down Five and Dime
Dm
The rain cried down the window
E
Just like those tears of mine
Am
Just then a gray haired woman
C
Sat down right next to me
Dm
She heard me cry and looked in my eye
E
And said, "Baby, I got what you need"
Dm
You need a snakebite
Am
And once you get that venom in your veins
Dm
They'll come alive
Am
I know just what you go through every day
C E
That pain inside, I can make it right
Am
With the snakebite
Am
She handed me a map with streets
C
I said, "I've never seen"
Dm
And she told me, "My friend, this town has secrets
E
Darker than you could ever dream"
Am
I went to some back alley
C
Behind a liquor store
Dm
If someone had told me how tight it would hold me
E
I never would have open the door
Dm
I got the snakebite
Am
And once I had that venom in my veins
Dm
I came alive
Am
Oh, you don't know what I go through everyday
C E
The pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
Am
With the snakebite
Dm
My momma told me
Am
Baby, be wary of evil ones
Dm
Who want to ensnare the heavy hearted
Am
Into their webs and feed upon their souls
E
Oh momma, I hope you never know
Am
It hasn't been a year now
C
And all my hair is gray
Dm
You know, it's funny
E
But I don't remember my own name
Am
I'd go and hurt that woman
C
Who put this pain in me
Dm
But my heart is weak, it wants that venom
E
She comes around 'cause she knows I need
Dm
The snakebite
Am
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins
Dm
To feel alive
Am
Oh, you don't know what I go through every day
C E
This pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
Dm
With the snakebite
Am
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins
Dm
And come alive
Am
Oh, you don't know what I go through every day
C E
That pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
Am
With the snakebite
E Am
Oh, I got the snakebite
