The intro is played by a cello, so I did my best to transcribe it as a guitar. It's only
played during the
first verse.

[Verse 1]
C
Feel all good, feel alright
Em
Work real hard, up at night
Am
Write a poem
G
No one gives a fuck about your poem
C
Well do a thing, take it in
Em
Life is short, life is long
Am
Have a baby, work a job
G
Walk a tightrope, spread your arms
[Chorus]
C Gm7
And don't look down
F
There's a pill in your food
Fm
That keeps you around
[Solo]
C
[Verse 2]
C
Wonder just a bit too much
Em
Muddy shapes that don't line up
Am
Stand before your broken mirror
G
Shave your hair off, ear to ear
C
And tell your wife it's just for fun
Em
Live your glum days one by one
Am
As empty as the midnight street
G
You drink at when she falls asleep
[Chorus]
C Gm7
And don't look down
F
There's a thing 'round your neck
Fm
That keeps you in check
C Gm7
Don't look now
F
There's a snake by your feet
Fm
Obscured by the weeds
[Bridge]
Am7 Bb
Don't look down
F
It's best you don't know
C# Eb Fm Gdim F
What awaits below
F7
Ooh ooh ooh
Bb
And you fall softly asleep
F
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Bb
Between white lines on the street
F
Yea
[Solo]
Gm7 C C#dim Dm Fm C
[Outro]
C
You dream you're back in bathroom and
Em
You pull a thread with shaking hand
Am
Emerging from your wincing face
CM7
Unspooling without pain or ache
C
And it comes and comes, without an end
N.C.
Coiled on counter, organ red
N.C.
A hungry snarl of speaker wire
N.C.
Begins to spark, and catch on fire
