[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.
[Chorus]
C Em
Am
All the sights and sounds,
B11
This little world's too crowded now,
C** D G (Hammering as usual)
And there's only one way out.
C Em
Am
An elevator ride,
B11
Through the tunnel towards the light,
C** D G (Hammering)
And I’m nowhere bound,
C Em D
Keep going up and down,
C Em G (H)
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 (Hammering)
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 (Hammering)
Just say when you've had enough.
[Chorus]
C Em
Am
All the light and sound,
B11
This little world's too fragile now,
C** D G (Hammering)
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 (Hammering)
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 (No hammering)
At the bottom of a well.
