I don't know ■  just where I'm going ■ 


[Verse]
    Db  Gb       Db          Gb      Db      
But I'm ■  gonna try for the kingdom if I can
                        Gb         Db 
'cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
             Gb            Db  
When I put a spike into my vein
                 Db                          
And I'll tell ya things aren't quite the same


[Chorus]
         Db               
When I'm rushing on my run
           Gb        Db        
And I feel just like Jesus' son
            Gb     Db             
And I guess that I just don't know
            Gb          Db        
And I guess that I just don't know

I'm ■  gonna try to nullify my life
            Gb               Db     
'cause when the blood begins to flow
     Gb               Db            
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
     Gb             Db      
When I'm closing in on death

■    ■  ■    ■ 


[Chorus]
        Gb                Db      
And you can't help me not you guys
           Gb                        Db        
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
    Gb              Db    
You can all go take a walk
            Gb     Db        
And I guess I just don't know
            Gb          Db        
And I guess that I just don't know

I ■  wish that ■  I was born a thousand years ago ■  ■ 
  Gb           Db Gb           Db           
I ■  wish that ■  I'd sail the darkened seas


[Verse]
     Gb                    
On a great big clipper ship
Db                 Gb                Db
■  Going from this land here to that ■ 
     Gb                   
On a sailor's suit and cap
Db Gb Db Gb Db
■  ■  ■  ■  ■ 


[Chorus]
     Db               
Away from the big city
            Gb     Db     
Where a man cannot be free
              Gb       Db       
Of all of the evils of this town
               Gb  Db          
And of himself and those around
               Gb          Db        
Oh and I guess that I just don't know
               Gb                    
Oh and I guess that I just don't know

Gb                     Db
Heroin be the death of me
Gb Db Gb Db Gb
■  ■  ■  ■  ■ 
Db                  Gb             Db  
Heroin it's my wife ■  and it's my life
          Gb             Db  
Because a mainline to my vein
           Gb           Db  
Leads to a center in my head
             Gb              Db  
And then I'm better off than dead


[Solo]

■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■ 


[Chorus]
                 Gb              Db  
Because when the smack begins to flow
  Gb                Db     
I really don't care anymore
              Gb               Db  
About all the JimJim's in this town
            Gb                       Db    
And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds
              Gb                     Db  
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
                 Gb                 Db    
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds


[Solo]
Gb Db Gb Db Ebm Db Gb Db

■  ■  ■   ■ 
                      Gb               
'cause when the smack ■  begins to flow
                         Db7    
Then I really don't care anymore


[Chorus]
Gb Db         Gb                  Db   
■  ■  Ah when the heroin is in my blood
Gb                      Db  
And that blood is in my head
           Gb                   Db  
Then thank God that I'm good as dead
                Gb               Db   
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
          Gb                    Db  
And thank God that I just don't care
            Gb           Db  
And I guess I just don't know
      Gb                     
And I guess I just don't know
