Outro:
| G | D | Em7 | Cadd9 | G | D | Em7 |
 (fades out)


Note: On the 8 notes between the bridge and the chorus, the bass line
is a progression up then down again (C, D, E, D, C, B, A, G). I'm not sure
the best way to notate that. Maybe like this:

|Bm       |Bm        |C   C/D C/E C/D |
 . . I should've gone by now but I cain't .  .  .
|C C/B   C/A  C/G |G          |D        |Em7  |Cadd9 |
 . . 'Cause one of my  friends has taken her in and given her Codeine . . . .
