[Intro 1]
[C]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]

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

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]I h[F]ave made[C][F]
big deci[C]sion[F][C][F]
[C]I'm [F]gonna try[C]
[F]to nullify my lif[C]e
'Cause when the [F]blood begins to [C]flow
When it [F]shoots up the dropper's [C]neck
When I'm [F]closing in on death

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][G][F]
[C][F][G][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]You can't hel[F]p me now, you guy[C]s
And all you sweet [F]girls
with all your sweet [C]talk
You can [F]all go take a [C]walk
And I [F]guess I just don't [C]know
And I [F]guess that I just don't know

[Interlude 3]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 4]
[C]I w[F]ish that[C]
[F]I was born a thousand years ago
[C][F][C][F]
[C]I w[F]ish that[C]
[F]I'd sailed the darkened sea[C]s
On a [F]great big clipper [C]ship
Going from [F]this land here to [C]that
On a [F]sailor's suit and cap

[Interlude 4]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 5]
[C]Away fro[F]m the big city[C]
Where a [F]man cannot be [C]free
Of all the [F]evils of this [C]town
And of him[F]self and those a[C]round
Oh, and I [F]guess that I just don't [C]know
Oh, and I [F]guess that I just don't know

[Interlude 5]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 6]
[C]He- [F]roin,[C]
[F]be the death of me[C][F]
[C][F]
[C]He- [F]roin,[C] it's my wif[F]e
and it's my [C]life
Because a [F]mainline into my [C]vein
Leads to a [F]center in my [C]head
And then I'm [F]better off than dead

[Interlude 6]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 7]
[C]Because when the sma[F]ck begins to flo[C]w
I [F]really don't care [C]anymore
About all the [F]Jim-Jims in this [C]town
And all the poli[F]ticians making crazy [C]sounds
And everybody [F]putting everybody else [C]down
And all the dead [F]bodies piled up in mounds

[Interlude 7]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F]

[Verse 8]
[C]Because when the sma[F]ck begins to flo[C]w
I [F]really don't care [C]anymore[F][C][F]
[C]Ah, when that her[F]oin is in my blo[C]od
[F]And that blood is in my [C]head
Then thank [F]God that I'm as good as [C]dead
And thank your [F]God that I'm not a[C]ware
And thank [F]God that I just don't [C]care
And I [F]guess I just don't [C]know
Oh, and I [F]guess I just don't know
