[F#] I [G#] don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for [Fm] the kingdom if I [C#] 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
[G#] And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know

I [C#] have
[G#]
[C#m] made a [C#]
big decision
[Fm]
[C#] I'm [G#]
gonna try to nullify my [C#] life
Cause when the blood begins to flow
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing on death
Eyes
[C#]
[G#]
[C#] on all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can [G#]
all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just [C#] don't know
[Fm] [C#]
[G#]
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I
[C#]
[G#]
wish that 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
[C#]
[G#] [C#]
[A#m] Away from the city
Where a man cannot be [C#] free
Of all of [G#] the evils of this town
When he looks around
And I guess that I just don't [C#]
know
And I guess that I just don't know

[G#]
[C#] Heroin
Be the death of me
[C#m]
[Fm] [C#m] Heroin
[A#m] It's my wife and it's [C#] my life
Because a [G#] manor to my [C#] vein
Leads [G#] to a center [C#] in my head
And then I'm better off than dead

[C#] [F#]
[C#] Cause [F#] when the stacks [C#] explode
I [F#] really don't care anymore
About all the Jim Jim's in this [C#] town
And all [F#] the politicians making busy [C#] sounds
And [F#] everybody putting everybody [C#] else down
And all the [F#] dead bodies piled up [C#] in mounds
