[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
_ [C#]
Be _ _ _ the death of me
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
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 _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[A#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _

_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] Whoa, now [F#] I'm bleeding
[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
And I [F#] guess I just [C#] don't know
Oh [A#m] and I guess I just don't [C#] know
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
