Now that we've got that out of the way:

C                     Am
I've been downhearted babe
                     F                C
I've been down, I've been downhearted babe
               Em          F              C
Ever since the day we met, ever since the day.

C                                 Am    F
Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
C
Moonlight spills on comic books
    Em            F
And superstars in magazines
   C                                      Am   F
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
    C
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
    Em              F
And touches down on Bourbon street

   C                               Am   F
We sit outside and argue all night long
C
About a god we've never seen
    Em             F
But never fails to side with me
C                               Am  F
Sunday comes and all the papers say
C
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
    Em             F
And happy with her full time job

C                     Am
I've been downhearted babe
                     F                C
I've been down, I've been downhearted babe
               Em          F              C
Ever since the day we met, ever since the day.

C                                 Am    F
Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
     C
Does summer come for everyone?
    Em             F
Can humans do what prophets say?
C                          Am   F
If I die before I learn to speak
C                                Em
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
    F
But half asleep?

C                                      Am F
A life is time, they teach you growing up
C
The seconds ticking killed us all
  Em              F
A million years before the fall
C                                           Am F
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
C
You swim like lions through the crest
    Em                F
And bathe yourself in zebra flesh

C                     Am
I've been downhearted babe
                     F                C
I've been down, I've been downhearted babe
               Em          F              C
Ever since the day we met, ever since the day.
