   G|----2----|
   D|----0----|
   A|----x----|
   E|----x----|
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.
