[Verse 1]

            C
All this talk of getting old
                 C2  Am      Am7 
It's getting me down my love
                 Em                 F
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
         G        C         C2       C    
This time I'm comin' down


[Verse 2]

               C
And I hope you're thinking of me
                 C2  Am     Am7   
As you lay down on your side
                        Em
Now the drugs don't work
                        F
They just make you worse
            G            C         C2       C           
But I know I'll see your face again


[Chorus]

                        Em
Now the drugs don't work
                        F
They just make you worse
             G           C         C2       C  
But I know I'll see your face again


[Verse 3]

               C
But I know I'm on a losing streak
                      C2  Am      Am7 
'Cause I passed down my old street
                    Em
And if you wanna show
                     F
 then just let me know
         G             C       C2       C  
And I'll sing in your ear again


[Chorus]

                       Em
Now the drugs don't work
                        F
They just make you worse
          G              C         C2       C
But I know I'll see your face again


[Bridge]

            F  Em
'Cause baby ooh
            Am
if heaven calls
             G
I'm coming too
                 F
Just like you said
G                  Am
if you leave my life
                 G
I'm better off dead


[Verse 1]

            C
All this talk of getting old
                  C2  Am      Am7 
It's getting me down my love
                  Em
Like a cat in a bag
               F
waiting to drown
          G       C      C2       C
This time I'm comin' down


[Chorus]

                       Em
Now the drugs don't work
                       F
They just make you worse
       G                 C         C2       C
But I know I'll see your face again


[Bridge]

            F   Em
'Cause baby ooh
             Am
if heaven calls
             G
I'm coming too
              F
Just like you said
G                 Am
if you leave my life
                  F
I'm better off dead

                    Em
But if you wanna show(want a show)
                   F
then just let me know
              G        C       C2       C
And I'll sing in your ear again


[Chorus]

                       Em
Now the drugs don't work
                       F
They just make you worse
          G              C         C2       C      C2
But I know I'll see your face again

C                             C2                          
I'm never coming down, no I'm never coming down
C                                   C2
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
C                         C2                          
never coming down, no I'm never going down   
C                                  C2
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
