[C#]
[F#] I [C#] don't know just where I'm going
But I'm [F#] [C#m] gonna try for [C#] the kingdom if I can
Cause it [F#] makes me feel like [C#] I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell you things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
[A#m] [C#]
Have [F#] [C#]
[A#m] [C#m]
made a [C#]
big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
Cause when the blood, it can still flow
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm cozying on death
You can't help me, not you guys
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can't all go tickle while
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
Wish that I was born a thousand years ago
[C#m] Wish that [C#] I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
On a sailor's suit and cap
[F#] [C#]
[A#m]
[C#] [A#m] Away from the big [C#] city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
Oh and I guess that I just don't know
Oh and [F#] I guess that I just [C#] don't know
[C#m] Heroin

Heroin
It's my wife and it's my life
Because a [F#] manor to [C#] my vein
Leads to [F#] a center [C#] in my head
And then [F#] I'm better off [C#] than dead
[F#] Because [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] when the stacks [C#] explode
I [F#] really don't care [C#] anymore
About all the [F#] chin-chins in this [C#] town
[F#] Politicians making [C#] crazy sounds
And [F#] everybody putting everybody [C#] else down
And all the [F#] dead bodies piled [C#] up in mounds

[A#] That
[F#] [C#m]
[F#] heroin is in [C#] my blood
[F#] And that blood [C#] is in my head
And thank God that I'm good as dead
And thank [F#] your God that I'm not [C#] aware
[A#m] And thank God that I just [C#] don't care
