              Dm
Just another morning with shaky hands
Pounding head, I guess I did it again
Try to leave, but I can't stand
C                       G/B        A#
Start to think that I'm better off dead

I'm sick of this condition
Your kiss is my addiction
I can tell you cast a spell
That knows no moderation

Gm                            Am C
It's dangerous, the things we do

Chorus:
          Dm   A#          Am    Dm
Under the influence, I got no defense
             Dm  A#                Am         Dm
It might be criminal, but still I just can't quit
          Dm   A#                  Am   Dm
Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
             Dm   A#                Am       Dm
Well if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath
          Dm
Under the influence

Temptation creepin' up on me
Gets under my skin, won't let me be
Haunt my days and haunt my sleep
Viciously unrelenting
I'll lay down again
I'll give in again
And I'll feel good again
Begging for another beautiful sin
It's dangerous, the things we do

Chorus:
Under the influence, I got no defense
It might be criminal, but still I just can't quit
Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
Well, if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath

          A#              C                Dm
Under the influence, the walls are closing in
       G             A#                       C
It's inevitable, but I can't seem to live without
                        Dm A# Am
The destruction of your love,
Dm              A# Am Dm
ooh-oh-oh ooh-oh-oh

Chorus:
Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
Well, if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath
Under the influence, I got no defense
It might be criminal, but still I just can't quit

Under the influence, I'll take the consequence
Well, if it's poisonous, let it take my last breath

Under the influence
Under the influence
Under the influence
