Tuning: E A D G B E

Amazing song from an incredible album. Standard tuning, no capo. It's pretty easy and straight forward. To make it sound more jazzy try these substitutions: - C6 instead of C - G6 instead of G - F6 F9 or Fmaj7 instead of F [Intro] C Cmaj7 C6 G F C C Cmaj7 C6 G F C [Verse 1]

^CI started missing the days Where as ^Gsoon as I'd wake I'd make a ^G7cocktail ^G7I'd spend the time that you took Giving me dirty looks With my ^Ccocktail ^C7And just like ^Fevery love affair On the fault in my ^Carmor shows On a ^C7border shop ^G7full of hope And I'd get a little ^Cgreen ^C7I could be ^Fdancing on one leg And enjoying the ^Cmasquerade Well I'm not ^C7making any ^G7lemonade But I got lemons if you ^Cneed

[Instrumental] C Cmaj7 C6 G F C [Verse 2]

^CIn my meandering way I'd sing a ^Gserenade and sip a ^G7cocktail ^G7My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew Through a ^Ccocktail ^C7Who can you ^Fturn to When the world is bleeding you ^Cdry May I ^C7now turn you ^G7loose And watch you wither in the ^Cday light? ^C7Sometimes I ^Ffeel like a corpse With a lifetime ^Csubscription Just a ^C7strange propo^G7sition Oh, the thankless sac^Crifice

[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]

^C7Now how is ^Fevery day the same In a variety of ^Cplaces All the ^C7damn and empty ^G7spaces In the middle of a ^Ccrowd ^C7I could be ^Fslipping off the wing of a dove Or tied up onto the ^Ctrain tracks But either ^C7way I ain't ^G7coming back The only way out is ^Cdown Yeah, the only way ^G7out, my friend Is falling ^Cdoooo^FOOoOo^COoOoo^FOooow^Cn ^G7 ^C ^C7 ^C6 ^C
