D                         Cadd9
I caught you knocking at my cellar door
G/B                        Bb6
I love you baby can I have some more?
C   F              Esus4      E
Oh, oh the damage done.
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you won't understand
Milk blood to keep from running out
I seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun
