Lazarus [F#m] [E] wasn't grateful [D] for a second wind, [A] for another [E] chance, [D] but [B] watch as chances [D] fade,

[A] [B] I can [D] barely tell [Bm] you, [Em]

[D] without [F#m] you.
[A] I've been a mess since [B] you've been [D] gone.

What were the first words [D] that the crowd heard him speak?
I [A] bet he was cursing at the sky.
I bet he wasn't, [D] wasn't turning no [F#] other cheek.
[D] Was [A] there still hope and desire, hope and desire, [D] left in his heart?
For [A] the last word, for the last [D] word in love.

I've been a mess since you've [D] been gone.
