Song: The drugs don't work (Radio Edit)
 Group: The Verve
 Album: Urban Hymns
 This is the second single of the Verve's album Urban Hymns. The song is really easy to play. Nice chord progression. The Verve have been around
 since 1989 but all of a sudden they have become commercially popular.
 Yet their music has always stayed quite similar and their classic work
 is often their oldest stuff. So if you like this and their newer music
 try out old music like "a northen soul" and "a storm in heaven".
 Chords used:
 
 C  alternates between X32013 and X32003 (uses second version to got to Am)
 Am alternates between X02210 and X02200 (uses second version to got to Em)
 Em 022000
 F  (Barre chord) 133211
 G  320033
 
 NB C somtimes drops from X32013 to 30013 (But you can figure out where!)

 (Original Demo Lyrics) 
 (Note "drug make ME worse" - pre-commercial/sanitized version)
 
 All this talk of growin' old
 is gettin' me down my love
 like a cat in a bag
 waiting to drown
 I know I'm coming down
 
 and I hope you're thinking of me
 as you lay down inside
 now the drugs don't work
 they just make me worse
 but I know I'll see your face again
 
 cause baby ooohhhh
 if heaven calls I'm coming too
 and baby ooohhhh
 if heaven calls I'm with you
 
 But I know I'm on a losing streak
 I passed down my old street
 and if you wanna stop 
 then give me a shout 
 and I'll come running down
 you know I will
 But the drugs don't work
 they just make me worse
 and I know I'll see your face again
 
 cause baby ooohhhh
 if heaven calls I'm coming too
 cause baby ooohhhh
 if heaven calls I'm coming too
 Just like you said
 I'm better dead, when I ain't got you
 Just like you said
 I'm better dead, when I ain't got you
 
 but if you wanna show 
 then just let me know 
 and I'll sing in your ear again
 but the drugs don't work
 they just make me worse
 but I know I'll see your face again
 
 like a cat in a bag
 waiting to drown
 I know I'm coming down
 now the drugs don't work
 they just make me worse
 and I know I'll see your face again
