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

[G]When I’m hosed and they're closing i[C]n, maybe only then,
[Em]really, I’ll try to get r[D]ight with mysel[G]f.
So I’ll grope down that ladder a[C]gain, until I’m tumbling
but r[Em]eally, I just want to s[D]lide, I want to cra[G]sh-land.
While my friend, my assoc[C]iate, he’s a regal man.
He[Em] bindles and he twists and t[D]ies, gives the reckonin[G]g,
and then it’s back on the road aga[C]in with maybe thirteen grand.
[Em]Moralize all you might l[D]ike, I don't believe in [G]it.

[G](You’ve never earned your s[C]oul.) I kno[D]w,
[D](You’ve never earned your s[C]oul.) I kno[D]w,
[D](You’ve never earned your s[C]oul.) I kno[D]w,
but I’m gonna [Em]try. [C]     [G]         [D]             [G]

[G]I’m a rich young sophistic[C]ate, I’ve got girls and friends.
I’m[Em] doing what I really l[D]ike and getting paid for[G] it.
[G]There is no key, there’s no pl[C]an; I discovered that.
And, t[Em]ruly, I don’t think you'll f[D]ind a happier ma[G]n.

"....but I'm gonna t[Em]ry." [C]     [G]         [D]
You float up h[Em]igh and it isn’t a s[C]in.
And there isn’t a h[G]ell where we’ll be s[D]ent.
There’s only [Em]now, and there isn’t t[C]hen.
So just breathe it [G]in. [D]     [G]
