All this talk of getting old,

As you lay down on your side

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

They just make you worse
D G (D-G)
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak

'Cause I passed down by my old street

And if you wanna show, then just let me know
D G (D-G)
And I'll sing in your ear again
G Bm
Now the drugs don't work

version 3
The Cadd9 used is a standard C shape but played with the 3rd fret on the high E string (1st)
The Cadd9 variation is exactly the same except the D string is played open instead of
second fret
The Am is standard
The Am variation is the same but the B string is played open instead of the first fret
The Em is standard
The Fadd9 is a standard F but instead of fretting the 1st fret you fret the 3rd on the
E String (1st)
Now the G is a weird one. It's a standard G but the B string is fretted at the 1st fret
it's keeping the shape of the Fadd9 but the top 2 strings stay as if it were a standard G.
Then its back to the Cadd9
Then G again and then its straight into the verse so your chord bank should look
like this
Cadd9 (X,3,2,0,1,3)
Cadd9V (X,3,0,0,1,3)
Am (0,0,2,2,1,0)
AmV (0,0,2,2,0,0)
Em (0,2,2,0,0,0)
Fadd9 (0,0,3,2,1,3)
G (3,2,0,0,1,3)
F (1,3,3,2,1,1)
