[Verse 1]
C
I started missing the days
         G
Where as soon as I'd wake
           G7
I'd make a cocktail
G7
I'd spend the time that you took
Giving me dirty looks
        C
With my cocktail
C7            F
And just like every love affair
                   C
On the fault in my armor shows
     C7          G7
On a border shop full of hope
                     C
And I'd get a little green
C7         F
I could be dancing on one leg
                 C
And enjoying the masquerade
             C7         G7
Well I'm not making any lemonade
                        C
But I got lemons if you need

[Verse 2]
C
In my meandering way
           G                  G7
I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail
G7
My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew
          C
Through a cocktail
C7          F
Who can you turn to
                               C
When the world is bleeding you dry
      C7           G7
May I now turn you loose
                            C
And watch you wither in the day light?
C7          F
Sometimes I feel like a corpse
                C
With a lifetime subscription
       C7           G7
Just a strange proposition
                     C
Oh, the thankless sacrifice

[Verse 3]
C7         F
Now how is every day the same
                C
In a variety of places
        C7             G7
All the damn and empty spaces
                   C
In the middle of a crowd
C7         F
I could be slipping off the wing of a dove
                    C
Or tied up onto the train tracks
           C7          G7
But either way I ain't coming back
                    C
The only way out is down
                   G7
Yeah, the only way out, my friend
