Intro: Am F G Am
VERSE:
Am F
She speaks to me in Persian
G
Tells me that she loves me
Am
The girl with golden eyes
F
And though I hardly know her
G
I let her in my veins
Am
And trust her with my life
F
I wish I had never kissed her
G
‘Cause I just can’t resist her
Am
The girl with golden eyes
F
Every time she whispers
G
‘Take me in your arms
Am
The way you did last night.’
CHORUS:
F
Everything will be okay
Am
Everything will be alright
F Dm
If I can get away from her
F
And save my worthless life.
VERSE:
Am F
I wake up every morning
G
Jonesing for her love
Am
The girl with golden eyes
F
I won’t have to wait long
G
‘Til she buries me with roses
Am
‘Cause she’s always by my side
CHORUS:
F
Everything will be okay
Am
Everything will be alright
F Dm
If I can get away from her
F
And save my worthless life.
SPOKEN WORD
Repeat F Am throughout
Day 1. Dope free. I went to the clinic today
and got the first dose of methadone.
I’m out of dope so I threw away all my rigs.
Day 2. I can’t believe it’s been two days without junk.
Fucking smack, it just ruins peoples’ lives.
At first it seems so sweet, then you wake up next to a monster.
Day 3. I haven’t had anything for three days now.
This withdrawal is killing me. It’s like shock therapy to my guts.
Day 4. Last visit to the clinic. My whole body feels like
it’s cracking into pieces.
Fragile doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel.
Day 5. I’m sick as a dog, but this handful of painkillers
and a lotta whiskey’s gonna get me through.
Day 6. When I’m left to my own devices I go fucking insane.
I’ll never use heroin again.
Day 7. I can’t believe I’m clean!
Day 8. Everyone says I look better.
Day 9. The parasites are panicking.
Day 10. They seem amazed that I’m alive!
