This representation of the lyrics is mainly due to the fact that the song had no permanent lyrics and thus was different every time it was played live.

''Tourette's'' is a prime example of the "Music comes first, lyrics come second," mindset that Kurt Cobain had when he was writing songs.
Could've had a heart attack, my heart


Despite the song having no permanent lyrics as such, Nirvana fans have been able to decipher the lyrics for the studio version of the track; they are as follows:
We don't know anything, my heart

|Moderate rock


Mayday, every day, my day
Could've had a heart attack, my heart
We don't know anything, my heart
We all want something fair, my heart
