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

[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
[Instrumental]
C Cmaj7 C6 G F C
[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
[Piano solo]

[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
