 (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 . . . .
