Verse 1:
A                                     D
Well you run down to the corner baby, see what you can cop
A                                E
You get some for your sister and you take yours off the top
A                      D
Run into the bathroom, fixing up a shot
E7
Tie it up, shoot it up, bang your head, and throw it up

Chorus:
A        D
Too much junkie business
A        E
Too much junkie business
A        D
Too much junkie business
E
I don't wanna fuck around with you

Verse 2:
A                                 D
Your life becomes as sickening as that mess you call your face
A                                E
The pig  you call your girlfriend is dead from shooting mace
A                      D
Climbing up the walls, you shot some old moth balls
E
Wrap it up, call it art, now your record makes the chart

Chorus

Repeat Intro

Bridge:
A              D
Too much junk, too much junk,
A              E
Too much junk, too much junk,
A              D
Too much junk, too much junk,
E (E7 second time thru)
I don't wanna see her hanging out with you

Repeat Intro

Verse 3:
A                                      D
Well you're the coolest thing in town, with your face flat on the ground
A                                 E
Friends went through your pockets as the coffin went down
A                      D
You overdosed at last, spike stuck in your head
E7
Now you're dead...dead! dead! dead!

Bridge
