KEY OF EB


 -4  -4  -4 -4   4   4  -3 -3b
Come on, oh my star is fad-ing

-3b 4   -4    -4  4  4    5
And I swerve out of con-trol

-3b  4  -4   4  -4  4  4  -3 -3b
And if I’d, if I'd on-ly wait-ed

 4   4  -4   -4   -3  -3b  -2  -3
I'd not be stuck here in this hole

  7   -7   -5 -5   5   4 -5b  5
Come here, oh my star is fad-ing

 -5 7   -7    -5 -5b -4  -5b
And I swerve out of con-trol

 -5 7   -7  -5 -5 -5b  -4  -5b -5
And I swear I wait-ed and wait-ed

  7   7  -7  -7  -6  6  -5   -5b
I've got to get out of this hole

-6b   8 -6b  7   6    8
But time is on your side

 -6b  7  -6b   8   -6
It's on your side now

 -5  -6b  7   6    8  -6b  7 -6b  8
I’m push-ing you down and all a-round

 -6b -6b  -5   5    4  -3
It's no cause for con-cern



VERSE 3 plays same as 2

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath


(CHORUS)


 -6b   7  4   -4 -4  -6b   7   -4   5
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain

 -4 -6b  7  4  5   -7   -3b  -2
And I'm on my way back down yeah

  -6b  7  4   -4    -6b  7  4    5
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose

 -6b 7   4   -4  -3
Sick to the sto-mach

 -4  -4 -6b   7  -6b  -7
You can say what you mean

-6b -5  -6b     7  -6b  -7
But it won't change a thing

  5  -6b -5  5   -5  -6b
I'm sick of the sec-rets

  -6b  7  4   -4    -6b  7 4   5
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose

-6b  -5  5  -5   5   5   5   5   -4
You came a-long and you cut me loose (times 3)


ENJOY!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
