Verse1:
C
All this talk of growin' old
              Am
is gettin' me down my love

like a cat in a bag
           F/A
waiting to drown
  Gsus4    C          Gsus4  C
I know I'm coming down


Verse2:
      C
And I hope you're thinking of me
           Am
as you lay down inside
                    Em
now the drugs don't work
                  F/A
they just make me worse
    Gsus4                C         Gsus4   C

But I know I'm on a losing streak
              Am
I passed down my old street
                 Em
and if you wanna stop
               F/A
then give me a shout
              Gsus4
and I'll come running down
    C          Gsus4   C
you know I will
