_ [F#] _ _ I [C#] _ don't know _ _ just _ _ _ _ where I'm going. _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] But I'm gonna _ [C#] _ _
_ 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 I'm rushing on my run.
I [A#m] feel just like Jesus' [C#] son.
I _ [F#] guess [C#] that I just don't know.
And I [A#m] guess that I just don't [C#] know.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
have _ made 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. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It helps _ _ _ guys, but at least [A#m] girls with all your [C#] sweet talk.
You can't [A#m] all hope to go wrong.
And I guess I just don't know.
And I guess that I just don't [C#] know.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ _ _ wish _ that I _ was born a thousand [C#] years 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 big [C#] city.
_ Where [A#m] a man cannot be [C#] free.
Of all the evils of this town.
And of himself that looks 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.

[C#] _ _ _ Heroin.
It's my wife.
_ It's my life.
Because a manor to my vein.
Is to [F#] a sinner [C#] in my head.
And then I'm better off than dead.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _

_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
Cause [F#] of the _ _ _ [C#] slope.
_ [F#] I really don't care [C#]
anymore.
About [F#] all the chim-chims in this [C#]
town.
And all [F#] the politicians making crazy [C#]
sounds.
And [F#] everybody putting everybody [C#] else down.
And all the dead bodies piled up in _ mounds.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _

_ _ [D#m] That heroin is in [A#] 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.
And [A#m] thank God that I just [C#] don't care.
And [F#] I guess I [C#] just don't know.
Oh and I guess I just don't know.
