Repeat these chords (C / / / Am / / / Em / F G C  G C /)

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down, my love
Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown
This time I'm coming down

And I hope you're thinkin of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work, they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

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

But I know I'm on a losing streak
As I pass down my old street
If you want a show
Just let me know and I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work, they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

           F                 Em
Cause baby oooohh (sha-la-la la..)
           Am                G 
The heaven falls, I'm coming to
           F                 Em
Just like you said
             Am                   G
You leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down, my love
Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown
This time I'm coming down

Now the drugs don't work, they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Cause baby oooohh
If heaven falls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
You leave my life, I'm better off dead

But if you want a show
Just let me know and I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work, they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

G                          C       G C
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

The lead fills are mainly spacey slide riffs in 
the C scale:
e|--12--10--8---------------------------------------------|
B|-------------10--8--------------------------------------|
G|--------------------9--7--5-----------------------------|
D|-----------------------------7--5-----------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|

Here's one of the more interesting fills:
e|-----8------7-----5-------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--/9-----/7----/5---------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
