_ _ _ _ _ _ Know just _ _ where I'm going
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Gonna try for the kingdom if I can
[F] Feel [C] that I'm a man
Wanna put the spike into my vein
Then you know things aren't quite the same
[F] When I'm [C] rushing for my run and [F] I feel like [G] Jesus son
And [C] I guess that I just don't know and I guess that I [C] just don't know _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I _ _ have _ made _ [Em]
the decision _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm gonna know _ _ my life is worth it
Cause when the blood begins to flow
[F] When it squirts up [C] the droplets neck
When the smack goes against my blood
When I'm closing [G] in on death
[C] And my head begins to hurt
You can't help me, not you girls
All you guys with all your talk
You [F] can all go [G] take a walk
[F] And I guess that I just [C] don't know [F] and I guess [C] that I just _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ don't know
I _ _ wish that I lived a hundred years ago _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ I [G] wish that I sailed darkened seas on [C] a great big clipper ship
From this land here to that
In a sailing suit and [G] cap
Away [C] from the big city
Where [F] a man cannot [C] be free from [F] all the [C] evils
Of the town of [F] Zelda and those [C] around
And I wish that I traveled all around
And I guess that I just don't know and I guess that I just don't know
[G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
See the death of me _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
Is there a role _ _
_ That needs my love
Cause I made my beat
Leads to a center in my head
And I'm bitter off
When that smack blood starts to flow
Then I really don't care no more
Back those Jim [G] Jim's in this town
[C] And the animals make [G] a sound
[C] People's home keep a pound by pound
And the politicians and [G] the clowns
[C] And the do-gooders with their crown
Dead bodies plowing out
But [F] while that [Cm] heroin's in my blood
And that blood is [G] in my head
[C] Thank God I'm as good as dead
Thank God I'm [G] not aware
[C] I'm so glad that I [G] don't care
And I [C] guess that I just don't know [F] and I guess [C] that I just don't _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
