No Way Down Chords

   
Listen to the song for rhythm, should be right. If the verse work sounds off, it's
probably due to the lead guitar, took me a little while to work out exactly what the chords
were. Pretty much just worked this out too over the last half hour, think it's right. 
Hope it helps!

the ruling fog are abound to creep

Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
         C#            G#          F#
where a tiny few catch all of the rays

G#                  C#
Out beyond the western squalls
G#            C#
In an alien land
G#               C#
they work for nothing at all
            F#                     C#
they don't know the mall of the layaway plan

haunt, what do we charge
      C#              G#       F#

Get used to the dust in your lungs

   Ebm              Bbm
without having our gold teeth
                  G#     F#
pulled from our mouth?

They said was lemonade
