[F#] I [C#]
don't know just where I'm going
[F#] [C#]
But I'm [F#] [C#]
gonna try for the kingdom if I can
Cause it makes [F#] me feel like [C#] I'm a man
When I [F#] put a spike into [C#] 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
I [F#] guess [C#] that I just don't know
[A#m] [C#]
I [F#]
[C#] [C#m]
[A#m] [C#]
have
[C#m] made [C#] a big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
Cause when the blood begins to flow
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And
[A#m] hell, may not [C#] you guys
Or all you sweet [A#m] girls with all your [C#] sweet talk
And all who take a walk
And [A#m] I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just [C#] don't know
[A#m]
[C#]
I [A#m] wish that I was born a thousand years [C#] ago
I wish that [A#m]
I'd sailed the [C#] 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#] Away [A#m] from the big [C#] city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all of the evils of this town
That knock himself and those around
Oh and I guess that I just don't know
Oh and I guess that I just don't know
[A#m]
[C#]
Heroin
Be the death of me
[F#]
[C#]
[C#m]
[A#m]
[C#m] Heroin
[C#] It's my wife and it's my life
Because a manor to my vein
Leads [F#] to a center [C#] in my head
And then I am better off in dead
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] I [C#]
[F#] really [A#m] don't care [C#]
anymore
About all the [F#] chim-chims [C#] in this town
And all [F#] the politicians making [C#] crazy sounds
And [F#] everybody putting everybody [C#] else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
[F#] That [C#]

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