Intro: Bm 

Bm       D                 G    Bm 
Downtown north past the airport 
G            A                  D 
  A dream in switchgrass and concrete 
Bm         D      G           D 
Three gray floors - of smoky windows 
F#m   D             G 
         Facing the street 

E          D                     Bm 
   Michael pulls the blinds back up 
E                 D                        Bm 
   Stares blankly down at the intersection 
Bm               A         G                  A 
Watching for the guy who's got the angel dust 
F#m        D          E 
   Crystal clear connection 

              G   A 
Days like dominos 
             Bm 
All in a line 
                     G     A           Bm 
We cheer for the home team - every time 
         G  A  Bm             G  A  Bm 
Lakeside View,       Lakeside View 
         G  A     Bm D     G 
Lakeside View for my whole crew 

Bm 

Bm             D                     G D 
Most nights now sleep in the kitchen 
G             A                         D 
  Keep my face cool on the floor 
     Bm                D         G           D 
And John, John comes by to drop off his envelopes 
F#m                 D   G 
  Still playing postman after all these years 

E              (Bm) 
E              D             Bm 
  Pull down my army surplus jacket 
E                  D                      Bm 
Dig through some drawers to find the keys 
   Bm       A      G                  A 
Emerge transformed in a million years 
F#m  D              E 
     From days like these 

           G   A                     Bm 
Under each eye - little greasepaint smudge 
(D)       G        A                 Bm 
You can't judge us - you're not the judge 
         G  A  Bm             G  A  Bm 
Lakeside View,       Lakeside View 
         G  A     Bm D     G 
Lakeside View for my whole crew 

E                            Bm 
     And just before I leave 
E                            Bm 
     I throw up in the sink 
E                            Bm 
     One whole life recorded 
E                            Bm 
     In disappearing ink 

Bm  A  G 

Bm                  A    G                      F#m 
  And Ray left a message thumbtacked to the door 
Bm           A                G 
I don't even bother trying to read them anymore 
         G  A  Bm             G  A  Bm 
Lakeside View,       Lakeside View 
         G  A     Bm D     G 
Lakeside View for my whole crew
