Intro: G
Verse 1:
G C
When I’m hosed and they're closing in, maybe only then,
Em D G
really, I’ll try to get right with myself.
C
So I’ll grope down that ladder again, until I’m tumbling
Em D G
but really, I just want to slide, I want to crash-land.
C
While my friend, my associate, he’s a regal man.
Em D G
He bindles and he twists and ties, gives the reckoning,
C
and then it’s back on the road again with maybe thirteen grand.
Em D G
Moralize all you might like, I don't believe in it.
Chorus:
G C D
(You’ve never earned your soul.) I know,
D C D
(You’ve never earned your soul.) I know,
D C D
(You’ve never earned your soul.) I know,
Em C G D G
but I’m gonna try.
Verse 2:
G C
I’m a rich young sophisticate, I’ve got girls and friends.
Em D G
I’m doing what I really like and getting paid for it.
G C
There is no key, there’s no plan; I discovered that.
Em D G
And, truly, I don’t think you'll find a happier man.
Chorus
Em C G D
"....but I'm gonna try."
Em C
You float up high and it isn’t a sin.
G D
And there isn’t a hell where we’ll be sent.
Em C
There’s only now, and there isn’t then.
G D G
So just breathe it in.
