Intro
Am E5 G5
I need ... a shot of love, I need ... a shot of love
[Verse 1]
Am
Don’t need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Am E5 G5
Don’t need a shot of turpentine, only bring me to my knees
Am
Don’t need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Am
Don’t need a shot of whiskey, help me be president
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Am
Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid
Am E5 G5
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it’s makin’ me feel afraid
Am
What I got ain’t painful, it’s just bound to kill me dead
Am
Like the men that followed Jesus when they put a price upon His head
[Chorus]

I need a shot of love
D C | Am | Am E5 G5 |

Am
I don’t need no alibi when I’m spending time with you
Am E5 G5
I’ve heard all of them rumors and you have heard ’em too
Am
Don’t show me no picture show or give me no book to read
Am
It don’t satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds
[Chorus]

Why would I want to take your life?

You’ve only murdered my father, raped his wife
Am
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Am
Mocked my God, humiliated my friends
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Am
Don’t wanna be with nobody tonight
Am E5 G5
Veronica not here, Mavis just ain’t right

There’s a man that hates me and he’s swift, smooth and near
Am
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he’s here?
[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Am
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
Am E5 G5
Don’t even feel like crossing the street and my car ain’t actin’ right
Am
Called home, everybody seemed to have moved away
Am
My conscience is beginning to bother me today
[Chorus]
D C Am
I need a shot of love
D C | Am | Am E5 G5 |

I need ... (a shot of love)

Am
I need ... (a shot of love)

If you’re a doctor, I need a shot of love (fade out)
