[F#] I [C#] don't know just where I'm going
[A#m] [C#]
But I'm [F#] [C#] gonna try for the kingdom if I can
Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell you things aren't quite the same
When [A#m] I'm rushing on my run
I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I [C#] just don't know
[A#m] [C#]
I [F#] [C#]
[C#m] [A#m]
[C#] have [C#m]
made a [C#]
big decision
I'm
[A#m] gonna [C#]
try to nullify my life
Cause when the blood begins to flow
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
Then I'm closing in on death
[A#m]
I mean not you [C#] guys or all you sweet girls
With all your sweet talk
You can't all go tickle 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
[A#m]
[C#]
[A#m]
I [C#] wish that [A#m]
I'd sail the darkened [C#] seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
On [A#m] a sailor's suit and cap
[F#] [C#]
[A#m]
Away from the [C#] city
Where [A#m] a man cannot be [C#] free
Of all the evils of this town
And of himself that moves 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#]

[A#m] [C#]
Heroin
[A#m] It's my wife
It's my [C#] life
Because a manor to my vein
Is [F#] to a sinner [C#] in my head
And then I'm better off in dead
[F#] Cause [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] when the smoke
[C#]
I [F#] really don't care [C#] anymore
About all the [F#] Jim Jim's in this [C#] town
And all [F#] the politicians making [C#] busy sounds
And [F#] everybody putting everybody [C#] else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
[F#] All [C#]

[C#]
[D#m] of that guilt [C#] and
[E] [F#] that blood is in [C#] my head
Then [F#] thank [C#] God that I'm good as dead
And thank [F#] 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 don't [C#] know
Oh and I guess I just don't know
