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:
 - C6C6 instead of C majorC
 - G6G6 instead of G+G
 - F6F6 F9F9 or Fmaj7Fmaj7 instead of FF

Intro:
C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C6C6 G+G  FF  C majorC

Verse 1:
C majorC
I started missing the days
     G+G
Where as soon as I'd wake
      G7G7
I'd make a cocktail
G7G7
I'd spend the time that you took
Giving me dirty looks
    C majorC
With my cocktail
C7C7      FF
And just like every love affair
          C majorC
On the fault in my armor shows
   C7C7     G7G7
On a border shop full of hope
           C majorC
And I'd get a little green
C7C7     FF
I could be dancing on one leg
         C majorC
And enjoying the masquerade
       C7C7     G7G7
Well I'm not making any lemonade
            C majorC
But I got lemons if you need

Instrumental:
C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C6C6 G+G  FF  C majorC

Verse 2:
C majorC
In my meandering way
      G+G         G7G7
I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail
G7G7
My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew
     C majorC
Through a cocktail
C7C7     FF
Who can you turn to
                C majorC
When the world is bleeding you dry
   C7C7      G7G7
May I now turn you loose
              C majorC
And watch you wither in the day light?
C7C7     FF
Sometimes I feel like a corpse
        C majorC
With a lifetime subscription
    C7C7      G7G7
Just a strange proposition
           C majorC
Oh, the thankless sacrifice

Verse 3:
C7C7     FF
Now how is every day the same
        C majorC
In a variety of places
    C7C7       G7G7
All the damn and empty spaces
          C majorC
In the middle of a crowd
C7C7     FF
I could be slipping off the wing of a dove
          C majorC
Or tied up onto the train tracks
      C7C7     G7G7
But either way I ain't coming back
          C majorC
The only way out is down
          G7G7
Yeah, the only way out, my friend
      C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF  C majorC  G7G7  C majorC  C7C7 C6C6 C majorC
Is falling dooooOOoOoOoOooOooown
