Come on, oh my star is fading

I've got to get out of this hole

Verse 4:
Eadd9 Gmaj7
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
D A
And I'm on my way back down again
Eadd9 Gmaj7
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose
D A
Sick to the stomach
Verse 5:
Eadd9
You can say what you mean
Gmaj7
But it won't change a thing
D A
I'm sick of the secrets
Eadd9 Gmaj7
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose
D A
And you came along and you cut me loose
Outro (riff same as bridge 3, except all G6 chords are Gmaj7 chords):
Eadd9 Gmaj7 D A
... ... You came along and you cut me loose
Eadd9 Gmaj7 D A
... ... You came along and you cut me loose
===============================================================================
Tips:
1. Bracketed notes are optional. Omit them to bring out the melody.
2. Play the lower strings (especially E and A) lightly or omit them altogether.
3. Listen for the accents in the intro (generally every second beat).
4. Pay close attention to the rhythm, especially the syncopation in bridge 3.
Rhythm legend:
H = Half note (minim)
Q = Quarter note (crotchet)
E = Eighth note (quaver)
S = Sixteenth note (semiquaver)
. = Dotted note (one and a half)
