The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve

All this talk of getting old      [Verse #1]

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 thinking of me  [Verse #2]

As you lay down on your side

Now the drugs don't work,            [Intro]

    they just make you worse          C  C

But I know I'll see your face again   Am Am

                                      Em F-G

[Chorus - Verse #2 Part #2]           C  C


But I know I'm on a losing streak   [Verse

'Cause I passed down my old street       #3]

(And) if you wanna show,

    then just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again     [Chorus]


'Cause baby, oohoooooh              [Bridge]

If heaven calls, I'm coming too        F  Em

Just like you saiiiid                  Am G

You leave my life, I'm better off dead


[Verse #1]  [Chorus]       [Bridge]

[Verse #3 - Part #2] (But) [Chorus]  [Outro]

                                     C C C C

  (Yeah, I know I'll see your face again x4)

(I'm never going down (x2), no more (x5) x5)
