Lyrics

Come on,

oh, (G)my star is fad

ing and I (C)swerve

(G)out of con (Bb)trol.

If (C)I’d,

if (G)I’d on ly wait

ed I’d not be (C)stuck here in this

hole.

Come (C)here,

oh, (G)my star is fad

ing

and I swerve

no (G)out of con trol.

And I (C)swear

I (G)wait ed and wait

ed.

I’ve got to (C)get out of this (G)hole.

But (G)time

is on your side,

it’s on your side

now.

Not push ing you down

and all a round,

it’s no

(F)cause

for con (C)cern.

(C)cern.

Stuck on the end

of this ball and chain

and I’m on my way

back (C)down.

Stood on the edge,

tied to the noose

sick to the sto

mach.

Say what you mean

but it won’t change a thing.

I’m sick of our se

crets.

Stood on the edge,

tied to the noose,

and you came a long

and you cut me loose.

You came a long

and you cut me loose.

You came a long

and you cut me loose.
