[Verse]
 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*                  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*                     G*  C*
But I know I'll see your face again
                                     Em
Now the drugs don't work
                                    F
They just make you worse
             G                          C*               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
And if you wanna show
                             F
 then just let me know
         G                      C*              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*              G*  C*
But I know I'll see your face again
 
[Verse]
                       F       G
'Cause baby ooh - ooh
                 Am
if heaven calls
                    G
I'm coming too
                      F         G
Just like you sa-----id
                           Am
if you leave my life
                         G           (pause)
I'm better off dead
 
             C
All this talk of getting old
                           Am
It's getting me down my love
                         Em
Like a cat in a bag
                   F
waiting to drown
          G           C*                    G*  C*
This time I'm comin' down
 
[Chorus]
                                     Em
Now the drugs don't work
                                   F
They just make you worse
          G                             C*                G*  C*
But I know I'll see your face again
 
                       F        Em
'Cause baby ooh- ooh
                 Am
if heaven calls
                    G
I'm coming too
                      F          G
Just like you sa-----id
                          Am
if you leave my life
                          G
I'm better off dead
 
                               Em
But if you wanna show
                            F
then just let me know
        G                        C*              G*  C*

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

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

Good tab, thanks! A few corrections: the second chord of the line ”cause baby ooh -ooh” should be Em instead of G. I would also call that part bridge, and all the other parts verses since it is difficult to tell where verses end and choruses start.
