The strumming pattern is approximate. You might have to listen to the
album if you want to learn it absolutely perfectly, but I play it this
way and it sounds pretty good. This pattern continues through all the
verses, or if you prefer just chords:

C Am
All this talk of getting old it's getting me down my love

Em F G C G C
Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown this time I'm coming down

Am
And I know you're thinking of me as you lay down on your side

Em F G
Now the drugs don't work they just make you worse but I know I'll see

C G C
your face again

and similarly for the other verses.

Chorus:

F Em Am G
So baby ooooooooh if heaven calls I'm coming too

F Em Am G
Just like you said if you leave my life I'm better off dead

============================================================

All this talk of gettin' old
Is getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I know 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

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

Well I know I'm on a losing streak
Cuz I passed down by your street

But if you wanna 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

So baby, oooh-ooh-ooh
If Heaven calls
I'm comin' too

Just like you say-ay-aid
If you leave me life
I'm better off dead

All this talk of gettin' old
Is getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

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

So baby, oooh-ooh-ooh
If Heaven calls
I'm comin' too

Just like you say-ay-aid
If you leave me life
I'm better off dead

But if you wanna 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

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
Yeah I know I'll see your face again

Never comin' down
Never comin' down
No more, no more (echos)

Never comin' down
Never comin' down
No more, no more (echos)

Oh Lord

Yeah I know I'll see your face again
