Audra Mae - Snakebite

^AmI heard about the venom ^CAt a broke down Five and Dime ^DmThe rain cried down the window ^EJust like those tears of mine

^AmJust then a gray haired woman ^CSat down right next to me ^DmShe heard me cry and looked in my eye ^EAnd said, "Baby, I got what you need"

^DmYou need a snakebite And once you g^Amet that venom in your veins ^DmThey'll come alive I know just w^Amhat you go through every day ^CThat pain inside, I can m^Eake it right ^AmWith the snakebite

^AmShe handed me a map with streets ^CI said, "I've never seen" ^DmAnd she told me, "My friend, this town has secrets ^EDarker than you could ever dream"

^AmI went to some back alley ^CBehind a liquor store ^DmIf someone had told me how tight it would hold me ^EI never would have open the door

^DmI got the snakebite And once I ^Amhad that venom in my veins ^DmI came alive Oh, you don't know w^Amhat I go through everyday ^CThe pain inside, I'm gonna m^Eake it right ^AmWith the snakebite

^DmMy momma told me Baby, be wary of ^Amevil ones Who want to ensnare the h^Dmeavy hearted Into their webs and f^Ameed upon their souls Oh mom^Ema, I hope you never know

^AmIt hasn't been a year now ^CAnd all my hair is gray ^DmYou know, it's funny But I d^Eon't remember my own name

^AmI'd go and hurt that woman ^CWho put this pain in me ^DmBut my heart is weak, it wants that venom ^EShe comes around 'cause she knows I need

^DmThe snakebite Oh, I gotta ^Amget that venom in my veins ^DmTo feel alive Oh, you don't know w^Amhat I go through every day ^CThis pain inside, I'm gonna m^Eake it right ^DmWith the snakebite Oh, I gotta get that ve^Amnom in my veins ^DmAnd come alive Oh, you don't know w^Amhat I go through every day ^CThat pain inside, I'm gonna m^Eake it right ^AmWith the snakebite ^EOh, I got the snakebi^Amte
