I caught you knocking at my cellar door

I love you, baby, can I have some more

Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
 
D                    C       Cadd9
I hit the city and I lost my band
G                          Gm     Bb
I watched the needle take another man

Gone, gone, the damage done.
 
D C Cadd9  G Gm Bb  C F Esus4 E

I sing the song because I love the man

I know that some of you don't understand
C    F                  Esus4   E
Milk-blood to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle and the damage done
G                      Gm   Bb
A little part of it in everyone
C                        F       Esus4 E
But every junkies like a setting sun.
 
D C Cadd9  G Gm Bb

I met and devloped a friendship with an addict. Loving an addict is very confusing and painful. In tribute to my friend and all the pain I saw her and her friends go through I had to learn this song. Music is my therapy. They were surprised I shared my "gift" with them and cared enough to take the time and effort to learn the song.

Esus4 is the right chord, but UltimateGuitar.com is showing Esus4 without a pinky on the G-string 2nd fret. It'll make the difference.
