Start Jamming...
[A]
[D] Sippin' whiskey from [A] a paper [Am] cup
[D] You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
[A] You take a look at what you've done to yourself
Why [E] don't you put the bottle [F#] back on the shelf?
[A] Yellow finger from your cigarettes
[D] Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
[A] Why don't you [E] look into Jesus?
He got [D] the answer
[A]
[E] [A]
Gonorrhea on Valentine's Day
[D] And you're still looking for the perfect [Am] plan
You [A] think rock and roll will set you free, [E] honey
You'll be dead before you're 33
[A]
Shooting junk till you're half insane
[D]
A broken needle in your purple veins
[Am] Why [A] don't you look [E] into Jesus?
He got [D] the answer
You [E]
sleep all day
You take your money and throw it all [F#] out
[D]
You say you're gonna be a superstar
[C] But you never hung [D] out who you really [Am]
are
[A] I can't handle Wow
I can't handle
Uh oh, uh oh
Think back to when you were a [D] child
Your [F] soul was [D] free, your heart went [Am] wild
Each day was [Em] different and life [A] was a thrill
[E]
You knew tomorrow would be better still
[A]
But things are changing much older now

If you're unhappy and you don't know how
