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