[Primeira Parte]

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

[Segunda Parte]

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

[Refrão]

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

[Terceira Parte]

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

[Quarta Parte]

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

[Refrão]

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

[Quinta Parte]

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
