Intro:  C  Bm  C  D  G 
         C  D  Em  C  D 

Verse 1:
C              Bm 
Milk thistle, milk thistle 
C      D    G 
Let me down slow 
C       D    Em 
Help me go slow 
        C          D 
I've been carryin' on 
       C            G 
I'm not scared of nothin' 
           C          G 
I'll go pound for pound 
      C         G 
I keep death on my mind 
      C       D 
Like a heavy crown 
     C     D 
If I go to heaven 
      C         D 
I'll be bored as hell 
      C       D 
Like a little baby 
     Am             G 
At the bottom of a well 

Verse 2:
C           Bm 
Fair child, fair child 
C   D       G 
How are you man? 
       C      D    Em 
Did you fix that storefront? 
       C           D 
Did you start that band? 
        C          G 
Don't be scared of nothin' 
      C         G 
You go pound for pound 
            C           G 
You'll bring peace to midnight 
      C        D 
Like a spotted owl 
      C          D 
I'll be rootin' for you 
       C        D 
Like my favourite team 
       C      D 
If somebody sweats you 
      Am             G 
You just point 'em out to me 


C  Em  Am 
All the sights and sounds 
 B11 
This little world's too crowded now 
           C     D       G  
And there's only one way out 
C  Em  Am 
An elevator ride 
B11 
Through the tunnel towards the light 
       C   D     G  
And I’m nowhere bound 
          C   Em  D 
Keep going up and down 
C  Em  G  
Up and down
 

Verse 3:
C          Bm 
Newspaper, newspaper 
     C     D  G 
Can't take no more 
          C  D    Em 
You're here every morning 
      C       D 
Waitin' at my door 
        C          G 
I'm just tryin' to kiss you 
       C       G 
And you stab my eyes 
      C        G 
Make me blue forever 
       C      D 
Like an Island sky 
       C        D 
And I'm not pretending 
        C      D 
That it's all okay 
           C        D 
Just let me have my coffee 
         Am              G  
Before you take away the day 

Verse 4:
C         Bm 
Lazarus, Lazarus 
C      D     G 
Why all the tears? 
C   D    Em 
Did your faithful chauffer 
C         D 
Just disappear? 
      C          G 
What a lonesome feeling 
     C           G 
To be just waitin' round 
       C            G 
Like some washed up actress 
    C      D 
In a Tinseltown 
   C        D 
But for the record 
       C          D 
I'd come pick you up 
          C        D 
We'll head for the ocean 
        Am                G  
Just say when you've had enough 


C  Em  Am 
All the light and sound 
B11 
This little world's too fragile now 
            C   D         G  
And there's only one way out 
C  Em  Am 
But if you let me slide 
B11 
I'll do my best to make things right 
       C  D        G  
And I’m nowhere bound 
           C  Em   D 
Keep going up and down 
C  Em   G 
Up and down 


Verse 5:
C             Bm 
Milk thistle, milk thistle 
C   D      G 
Let me down slow 
   C     D      Em 
Just help me go slow 
         C         D 
I've been hurrying on 
     C          G 
I was poised for greatness 
     C         G 
I was down and out 
      C            G 
I keep death at my heels 
      C       D 
Like a basset hound 
    C       D 
If I go to heaven 
      C        D 
I'll be bored as hell 
      C        D 
Like a crying baby 
     Am            G  
At the bottom of a well
