[Intro] | 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] | G#m D#m7 | G#m D#m7 | G#m D#m7 | G#m F# | x2 [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
