| G#m D#m7 | G#m D#m7 | G#m D#m7 | G#m F# | x2
[Verse 1, spoken]
G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 When you light that funny cigarette, would you pass it back to me G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I'm feeling a little down and out, and it'll keep me company G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I'm just a long lost sinner, living life here on the line G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I'll give it right back to you, I know it's not really mine G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 Now don't put it out, not right yet, it's burning pretty good G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 Maybe I'll have one more toke, d'you think I should?
[Chorus]
G#m F# G#m F# OO-oo, days go by G#m F# G#m F# I just sit around and get real high G#m F# G#m F# OO-oo, what a glow G#m F# G#m F# I just hang out, they come and go
[Verse 2, spoken]
G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 Hey, the walls are starting to move, the floor is way down there G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 What a buzz it is, there's electricity in the air G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 Boy, I'm feeling really gone, I'm feeling really cool G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I think I'll have another one, I'm just another fool G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 You know they say it's illegal, but what isn't these days G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 No matter what you do, there'll be somebody on your case
[Chorus]
G#m F# G#m F# OO-oo, days go by G#m F# G#m F# It just seems like I sit around and get high G#m F# G#m F# OO-oo, shame on me G#m F# G#m F# They're going to put me in a penitentiary
[Verse 3, spoken]
G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I must not be together, look at the shape I'm in G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I just know people are saying, "He's looking awful thin!" G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I guess I can count my blessings, though I've always been this way G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 I guess I'll quit tomorrow, maybe another day
[Chorus]
G#m F# G#m F# OO-oo, days go by G#m F# G#m F# I guess I'll settle down and get real high
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4, spoken]
G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 You know time has no absolute, it's a just seems like it's spent G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent, G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 While looking here and there, I'm surprised to see G#m D#m7 G#m D#m7 Everybody's gone here, everybody's gone but me...
[Chorus]
G#m F# G#m F# OO-oo, days go by G#m F# G#m F# I just sit around and get real high G#m F# G#m F# OO-oo, what a glow G#m F# G#m F# I just hang out, they come and go
