         C
All this talk of getting old
                 Am
It's getting me down my love
                Em                F
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
      G        C
This time I'm comin' down
       C
And I hope you're thinking of me
                Am
As you lay down on your side
                    Em
Now the drugs don't work
                    F
They just make you worse
        G                 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
But I know I'll see your face again
        C
But I know I'm on a losing streak
                     Am
'Cause I passed down my old street
                  Em                      F
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
          G            C
And I'll sing in your ear again
                    Em
Now the drugs don't work
                    F
They just make you worse

        G                 C
But I know I'll see your face again
            F       Em
'Cause baby, ooooooooooh,
          Am                G
If heaven calls, I'm coming too
               F   Em
Just like you said,
              Am                    G
You leave my life, I'm better off dead
          C
All this talk of getting old
                 Am
It's getting me down my love
                 Em               F
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
      G        C
This time I'm comin' down

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

            F       Em
'Cause baby, ooooooooooh,
          Am                G
If heaven calls, I'm coming too
             F   Em
Just like you said,
             Am                    G
You leave my life, I'm better off dead

                  Em                      F
But if you wanna show, then just let me know
          G            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
But I know I'll see your face again

C
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again, oh, Lord
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again, oh, Lord
I'm never coming down, no, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, no, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, no, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, no, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
