_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ [F#] Little baby [C#m] at the bottom of [B] a well. _
[E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] Fair [D#m] child, fair child, [B] how are you man?
Did you [E] [B] fix [G#m] that storefront?
Did [E] you start [F#] that band?
Don't [E] be [B] scared of nothing.
You [E] go pound [B] for pound.
You [E] bring [B] peace to midnight [E] like a [F#] spotted owl.
I'll [E] be [F#] rooting for you like [E] my [F#] favorite team.
[E] If [F#] somebody sweats you, you [C#m] just point them out [B] to me.
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ [C#m] _
All the sights and sounds.
_ [D#] _
This little world's too crowded now.
[E] And there's only _ [F#] one way [B] out.
An [E] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _
elevator ride _ [D#] through the tunnel towards the light.
[B] And I'm _
_ [E] [F#] nowhere _ _ [B] bound. _
[E] _ [B] _ _ _ Keep [E] going [D#] up [F#] and down, _ [E] up [B] and down.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [D#m] Newspaper, newspaper, [E] [B] can't take no more.
You're [B] here every [G#m] morning waiting [E] at [F#] my door.
[B] I'm [E] just trying [B] to kiss you and [E] you stab [B] my eyes,
make [E] me blue [B] forever like [E] an [F#] island sky.
[E] And I'm not [F#] pretending that [E] it's all [F#] OK.
Just let [E] me have [F#] my coffee [C#m] before you take away [B] the day.
_ [E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[D#] Lazarus, [D#m] [E] Lazarus, [B] why all the tears?
[E] Did your [F#]
[G#m] faithful chauffeur [E] just [F#] disappear?
[E] What a [B] lonesome feeling [E] to be [B] waiting
around [E] like some washed up actress in a [F#] tinsel town.
[E] Before [F#] the record [E] I'd come [F#] pick you up,
we'll [E] head [F#] for the ocean.
Just [C#m] say when you've had [G#m] enough _ [E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
of light and sound.
_ _ _ [D#]
This little world's too fragile now.
_ [E] And there's only [F#] one way [B] _
out.
_ _ _ [E] _ [B] _ [C#m] _
But if you let me slide, _ _ [D#] _
I'll do my best to make things right.
[E] And I'm _ [F#] nowhere _ _ [B] bound. _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] Just going up [F#] and down, _ _ [E] up [B] and down.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Milk [D#] thistle, milk [D#m] thistle, [E] [B] let me down slow.
[E] Just [B] help me [G#m] go slow.
I've [E] been [F#] hurrying on.
I [E] was poised [B] for greatness.
I [E] was down [B] and out.
I [E] keep death [B] at my heels [E] like a bastard [F#] hound.
If [E] I go [F#] to heaven, I'll [E] be bored [F#] as hell,
like [E] a crying [F#] baby at [C#m] the bottom [G#m] of a well.
