[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
