He knows, you know, he knows, you know
          G        D           Em
Problems, problems,  problems, problems

Am                          G
Light switch, yellow fever, crawling up your bathroom wall
D                                  Em
Singing psychedelic praises to the depths of a china bowl
           Am                                   G
You've got    venom in your stomach, you've got   poison in your head
                D
You should have listened to the priest at the confession
        Em
When he offered you the sacred bread

   Am                  G                   D                            Em
He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know but he's got problems

Am                           G
   Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind
D                                    Em
Chilling needles freeze emotion, the blind shall lead the blind
           Am                                   G
You've got    venom in your stomach, you've got   poison in your head
          D
When your conscience whispered, the vein lines stiffened
         Em                    (NC)  Asus4
You were walking with the dead

              A        G                   Dsus4 D     E
He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows,  you know
           Asus4    A            G
He's got experience,  he's got experience
   Dsus4 D       E               Am                            G
He knows,  you know but he's got problems, problems, problems, problems
D         Em
Problems, problems

   Am                                    G
He knows; slashed wrists, scarlet fever, crawl under your bathroom door
D                                                Em
Pumping arteries ooze their problems through the gap that the razor tore
           Am                                   G
You've got    venom in your stomach, you've got   poison in your head
                D
You should have listened to your analyst's questions
         Em
When you lay on his leather bed


   Am                  G                   D                            Em
He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know but he's got problems

Am                           G
   Blank eyes, purple fever, streaming through the frosted panes
    D                                         Em
You learned your lesson far too late from the links in the chemist chain
           Am                                   G
You've got    venom in your stomach, you've got   poison in your head
                D
You should have stayed at home and talked with father
Em
Listen to the lies he fed

   Am                  G                   D                            Em
