[C] [A]
Sipping whiskey from a paper [Am] cup, [D] you drown your sorrows till you can't [Am] stand up.
[A] Take a [Am] look at what you've done to yourself, why [E] don't you put the bottle back on the [G] shelf?
[A] Yellow finger from your [D] cigarettes, your hands are shaking while your body sweats.
[A] Why don't you look [E] into Jesus, he [D] got the answer.
[A]
[Am]
[A] Gonorrhea on Valentine's Day, [D] you're still looking for the perfect [Am] play.
[A] You think rock and roll will set you free, [E] honey, you'd be dead before you're 33.
[Bm] [A] Shooting junk till you're half insane, [D] a broken needle in your purple veins.
[A] Why don't you look [E] into Jesus, he got [D] the answer.
[E] You work all night, you sleep all day, you take your money and throw it all [D] out.
You say you're gonna be a superstar, but [C] you never hung around, you [G] really [Am] are a
[A]
king.
Wow!
Think [F#]
[A] back to when you were a [D] child, your [F] soul was [D] free, your heart ran wild.
[A] Each day was different and life was a thrill, [E] you knew tomorrow would be better [A] still.
But things have changed, you're much older now, [D] if you're unhappy and you don't know how.
[A] Why don't you look [E] into Jesus, [D] he got the answer.
