[Verse 1]
       Gm             Dm
With a strut into the room
         A7              Dm
With his hat cocked sure defiantly
          Bb           Dm/A            A7                     Gm      Dm
He said, "I, I have heard that you can play the way I like it to be played"
         A7           Dm            Bb                Dm/A            A7
I said, "I can play anyway that you want, but first I want, I want to know"

[Chorus]
            Gm                       Dm
Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet the sting?
      A7           Dm            Bb                Dm/A        A7
Is it real this infusion? Can it heal where others before have failed?
                    Gm                     Dm
If so then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
            A7             Dm          Bb          Dm/A A7    Gm    Dm/F Dm7 G6
'Cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail

[Verse 2]
          Gm                Dm
He said, "I laid my weapons down
         A7            Dm
With my pistol fully loaded
         Bb        Dm/A
A hunted man to my root
        A7
Will it end or begin in your cinnabar juice?"

[Chorus]
       Gm                      Dm
Is it sweet, sweet, sweet your sting?
      A7            Dm           Bb         Dm/A               A7
Is it real your infusion? Can it heal where others before have failed?
                    Gm                     Dm
If so then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
             A7             Dm         Bb          Dm/A A7    Gm
'Cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail

[Middle 8]
Bb                   F              Am
Love, let me breathe, breathe you in
              Gm
Melt the confusion
           Bb            F
Until there is, there is you
  A7
Union

[Chorus]
            Gm                       Dm
Baby, is it sweet, sweet, sweet your sting?
      A7           Dm            Bb         Dm/A               A7
Is it real your infusion? Can it heal where others before have failed?
                    Gm                     Dm
If so then somebody shake, shake, shake me sane
            A7              Dm         Bb          Dm/A  A7   Gm     Dm7  G6
'Cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail

[Outro]
            Dm7      G6
Baby, is it sweet?
            Dm7      G6
Baby, is it sweet?
            Dm7      G6
Baby, is it sweet?
            Dm7
Baby, is it sweet?
