This is a great song, atmospheric and somehow deep.
As this is my first tab and I'm still quite a novice myself, please don't judge too hard
about it.
I'm pretty sure about the chords, though. They sure sound fine.
Just make sure to vary in the way you play them - the song sounds better the more you
play them note by note just like the piano and bass do in the original.
One last thing about the timing: I tried to match the chords as exactly to the syllabees
as possable - still there's no way around listening to the song again and again about
it. Or just improvise.

[Bm]Downtown [D]north past the air[G]port[Bm]
[G] A dream in [A]switchgrass and con[D]crete
[Bm]Three gray [D]floors [G]- of smoky w[D]indows
[F#m] [D] Facing the [G]street
[E] Michael [D]pulls the blinds back [Bm]up
[E] Stares blankly [D]down at the intersection[Bm]
[Bm]Watching for the [A]guy who's [G]got the angel dust[A]
[F#m] Crystal [D]clear conne[E]ction
Days like domi[G]nos[A]
All in a line[Bm]
We cheer for the home[G] team [A]- every time[Bm]
Lakeside [G]Vie[A]w, [Bm] Lakeside [G]Vie[A]w[Bm]
Lakeside [G]Vie[A]w for [Bm]my [D]whole [G]crew
[Bm]
[Bm]Most nights now[D] sleep in the kitchen[G][D]
[G] Keep my face[A] cool on the floor[D]
And J[Bm]ohn, John comes by[D] to drop o[G]ff his envel[D]opes
[F#m] Still playing post[D]man [G]after all these years
[E] [(Bm)]
[E] Pull down my [D]army surplus j[Bm]acket
[E]Dig through some dr[D]awers to find the keys[Bm]
Eme[Bm]rge trans[A]formed [G]in a million years[A]
[F#m] [D]From days like [E]these
Under each [G]eye [A]- little greasepaint s[Bm]mudge

Lakeside [G]Vie[A]w, [Bm] Lakeside [G]Vie[A]w[Bm]
Lakeside [G]Vie[A]w for [Bm]my [D]whole [G]crew
[E] And just before I leave[Bm]
[E] I throw up in the sink[Bm]
[E] One whole life recorded[Bm]
[E] In disappearing ink[Bm]
[Bm] [A] [G]
[Bm] And Ray left a mes[A]sage [G]thumbtacked to the door[F#m]
[Bm]I don't even [A]bother trying to [G]read them anymore
