[Intro] A G D A G D [Verse] A Bricked up a kilo G Paneled down in the back door D All the while I’m riding To auditions I’m not getting [Refrain] A G D Why do I keep on returning to you? [Verse] A All American jawlines G One moment going over scene lines D Grind the scripts like teeth [Refrain] A G D Why do I keep on returning to you? A G D Cocaine, Cocaine [Verse] A Swarm TV cameras G Click and stumble at the Chateau D Later, I hear John’s Body got carried out A Ice cream was a code word G Told to me by a code man D These nice hotels I don’t know your clientele [Refrain] A G D Why….do I keep on returning to you? Cocaine, Cocaine Cocaine, Cocaine A G Why do I keep on D Returning to you? Give me some ice cream Give it to me now Oh, now [Chorus] A G I’m in the deepest D End of an empty pool (He’s never gonna make it) (He’s never gonna make it in LA) A G I’m in the deepest D End of an empty pool A Cocaine, Cocaine G I’m in the deepest D End of an empty pool (He’s never gonna make it) (He’s never gonna make it in LA) A G I’m in the deepest D End of an empty pool (He’s never gonna make it) Cocaine (He’s never gonna make it) A Cocaine [Outro] G D A G D
