[G/f#]

You are my gateway drug

You pull me down

You mess me up

You are my gateway drug

You give me a taste for the harder stuff

And I don't wanna stop

Innocent, I was naive when we started.

Got so high we descended to dependence

You move a little closer to me

I lose myself in you

You are my gateway drug

You pull me down

You fuck me up

You are my gateway drug

You give me a taste for the harder stuff

You are my gateway drug

(I can't tell when I've had enough)

You are my gateway drug

(Drag me down to a deeper love)

No, I don't wanna stop

I don't wanna stop
