C
I started missing the days

         G
Where as soon as I'd wake

           G7
I'd make a cocktail

G7
I'd spend the time that you took
Giving me dirty looks
        C
With my cocktail

C7            F
And just like every love affair

                   C
On the fault in my armor shows

     C7          G7
On a border shop full of hope

                     C
And I'd get a little green

C7         F
I could be dancing on one leg

                 C
And enjoying the masquerade

             C7         G7
Well I'm not making any lemonade

                        C
But I got lemons if you need
[Instrumental] C Cmaj7 C6 G F C [Verse 2]
C
In my meandering way

           G                  G7
I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail

G7
My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew

          C
Through a cocktail

C7          F
Who can you turn to

                               C
When the world is bleeding you dry

      C7           G7
May I now turn you loose

                            C
And watch you wither in the day light?

C7          F
Sometimes I feel like a corpse

                C
With a lifetime subscription

       C7           G7
Just a strange proposition

                     C
Oh, the thankless sacrifice
[Piano solo] C Cmaj7 C6 G F C C Cmaj7 C6 G F C [Guitar solo] F C G F# F C C7 [Verse 3]
C7         F
Now how is every day the same

                C
In a variety of places

        C7             G7
All the damn and empty spaces

                   C
In the middle of a crowd

C7         F
I could be slipping off the wing of a dove

                    C
Or tied up onto the train tracks

           C7          G7
But either way I ain't coming back

                    C
The only way out is down

                   G7
Yeah, the only way out, my friend

           C    F    C    F    C    G7    C    C7  C6  C
Is falling dooooOOoOoOoOooOooown
