C          F
Got that sleepy feeling
(got that sleepy feeling)
When the lights go out
(know the lights go out)
I know I should not do things
(know I should not do things)
But I really must work out
(really must work out)
Really must work out
(really must work out)
Really must work out
(really must work out)
Really must work out
(really must work out)

         F        G
It's a chemical reaction
     C          G       Am
To state your piece of mind
 C   A#        Am   G#
God knows I'm dying
G                             Am
My body can't keep up with my mind

There are many people like me
(many people like me)
On this manufactured trade
(manufactured trade)
Tying to satisfy people
(trying to satisfy people)
When you know they've got you whipped
(know they've got you whipped)
Know they've got you whipped
(know they've got you whipped)
Know they've got you whipped
(know they've got you whipped)
Know they've got you whipped
(know they've got you whipped)

One can only hope
Someday the sun will shine
God, knows I'm dying
My body can't keep up with my mind

     Am
You told me I'd be dying
At the temple I was living
                      F
But even when you're dying
         D                 G
There's some sweet joy in giving, giving
Giving, giving, giving

Sometimes I sit and wonder
(sometimes I sit and wonder)
In a white and smoke filled room
(in a white and smoke filled room)
Whie we sit here talking
(while we sit here talking)
Only adding to the gloom
(adding to the gloom)
Adding to the gloom
(adding to the gloom)
Adding to the gloom
(adding to the gloom)
Adding to the gloom
(adding to the gloom)

Then I see the wonder
The sky bursts into flame
God knows I'm dying
God knows I'm dying
God knows I'm dying
God knows I'm dying...
