Intro

Riff1 4x

All alone in the still of my apartment.

D-double take, apparitions in the darkness

Oh, oh, oh.

Riff 1x

Riff1 4x

There you are I'm a fiend

I gotta have it

Need a fix, my dangerous habit

Riff2 2x

Oh, oh, oh.

Riff1 2x

[G/f#]

You are my gateway drug

 You pull me down

 You mess me up

You are my gateway drug

 You give me a taste for the harder stuff

 And I don't wanna stop

Riff1 4x

Innocent, I was naive when we started.

Got so high we descended to dependence

Riff2 2x

(Quitting is so hard)

Riff1 2x

Riff1 4x

Cold sweat, I'm shaking with my teeth clenched

Appetite for the rush, the thrill, I need it.

Oh oh oh.

Riff1 2x

[G/f#]

You are my gateway drug

 You pull down

 You mess me up

You are my gateway drug

 You give me a a taste for the harder stuff

 And I don't wanna stop

 No, I don't wanna stop

Interlude

Riff1 2x

 You're breathing on my neck and I feel weak

Riff1 2x

 The lights that burn my eyes play hide and seek

Riff1 2x

 I get a little closer to you

 You move a little closer to me

Riff1 4x

All alone in the still of my apartment

D-double take, apparitions in the darkness

Break on C7

 I lose myself in you

You are my gateway drug

 You pull me down

 You fuck me up

You are my gateway drug

 You give me a taste for the harder stuff

You are my gateway drug

(I can't tell when I've had enough)

You are my gateway drug

 (Drag me down to a deeper love)

I don't wanna stop

 No, I don't wanna stop

I don't wanna stop
