Verse 1
(D flat major) I (G flatadd9) don't know (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
just where I'm going (D flat major) (G flatadd9) (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
But (D flat major) I'm (G flatadd9) gonna try (D flat major)
for the kingdom, (G flatadd9) if I can (D flat major)
'Cause it makes me (G flatadd9) feel like I'm a man (D flat major)
When I put a (G flatadd9) spike into my vein (D flat major)
And I tell you (G flatadd9) things aren't quite the same (D flat major)
When I'm rushing (G flatadd9) on my run (D flat major)
And I feel (G flatadd9) just like Jesus' son (D flat major)
And I guess (G flatadd9) that I just don't (D flat major) know
And I guess (G flatadd9) that I just don't know

(D flat major) I (G flatadd9) have made (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
big deci (D flat major) sion (G flatadd9) (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
(D flat major) I'm (G flatadd9) gonna try (D flat major)
(G flatadd9) to nullify my life (D flat major)
'Cause when the blood (G flatadd9) begins to flow (D flat major)
When it (G flatadd9) shoots up the dropper's neck (D flat major)
When I'm closing (G flatadd9) in on death

(D flat major) (G flat major) (A flat major) (G flat major)
Verse 3
(D flat major) You can't help (G flatadd9) me now, you guys (D flat major)
And all you sweet girls (G flatadd9)
with all your sweet talk (D flat major)
You can all (G flatadd9) go take a walk (D flat major)
And I guess (G flatadd9) I just don't know (D flat major)
And I guess (G flatadd9) that I just don't know

(D flat major) (G flatadd9) (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
Verse 4
(D flat major) I (G flatadd9) wish that (D flat major)
(G flatadd9) I was born a thousand years ago
(D flat major) (G flatadd9) (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
(D flat major) I (G flatadd9) wish that (D flat major)
(G flatadd9) I'd sailed the darkened seas (D flat major)
On a great (G flatadd9) big clipper ship (D flat major)
Going from this (G flatadd9) land here to that (D flat major)
On a sailor's (G flatadd9) suit and cap

(D flat major) (G flatadd9) (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
Verse 5
(D flat major) Away (G flatadd9) from the big city (D flat major)
Where a man (G flatadd9) cannot be free (D flat major)
Of all the evils (G flatadd9) of this town (D flat major)
And of himself (G flatadd9) and those around (D flat major)
Oh, and I guess (G flatadd9) that I just don't know (D flat major)
Oh, and I guess (G flatadd9) that I just don't know

Verse 6
(D flat major) He- (G flatadd9) roin, (D flat major)
(G flatadd9) be the death of me (D flat major) (G flatadd9)
(D flat major) (G flatadd9)
(D flat major) He- (G flatadd9) roin, (D flat major) it's my (G flatadd9) wife
and it's my (D flat major) life
Because a mainline (G flatadd9) into my vein (D flat major)
Leads to a (G flatadd9) center in my head (D flat major)
And then I'm better (G flatadd9) off than dead

Verse 7
(D flat major) Because when the (G flat major) smack begins to flow (D flat major)
I (G flat major) really don't care anymore (D flat major)
About all the Jim-Jims (G flatadd9) in this town (D flat major)
And all the poli (G flatadd9) ticians making crazy sounds (D flat major)
And everybody (G flatadd9) putting everybody else down (D flat major)
And all the dead (G flatadd9) bodies piled up in mounds

(D flat major) Because when the (G flat major) smack begins to flow (D flat major)
I (G flat major) really don't care anymore (D flat major) (G flat major) (D flat major) (G flat major)
(D flat major) Ah, when that (G flat major) heroin is in my blood (D flat major)
(G flat major) And that blood is in my head (D flat major)
Then thank (G flat major) God that I'm as good as dead (D flat major)
And thank your (G flat major) God that I'm not aware (D flat major)
And thank (G flat major) God that I just don't care (D flat major)
And I guess (G flat major) I just don't know (D flat major)
Oh, and I (G flat major) guess I just don't know
