Just keep that tab going throughout the song (except the bridge).



Cadd2               *        Dsus4                 *      Em7

  Did you ever see London at night and not want to go     home ?              
  
  Did you ever take drugs    stay up late         just to see what you would
see  
  Did you ever have love and hate scratched   across your hand ?              
   
                                                                 or did you
turn 
  round                      with     16         miles to go ?




Cadd2                  *       Dsus4                *             Em7        
* 
  Did you ever  just   walk     away    and      disappear for days ?
  Did you ever have a girl----friend       called               Catherine
Wheel?
  Did  you  ever come home from work  and  say  I'm never going back again?
                                                                 or did you
turn 
 round                         with      16         miles  to  go ? 



   



Cadd2                 *        Dsus4                 *             Em7        
* 
  D'you   ever  wanna kiss me  so hard               it            bled ?
  D'you ever  find  yourself  laughing      in   the           middle of the
day
  D'you ever think about the   first time            that I came in you? 

                                                                 or did you
turn 
  round                        with     16            miles  to  go?


  [Bridge]:
  G               Cadd2        G                  Cadd2
  Think about the world, and   those who'd see us hang,
  G                    Cadd2         G             Cadd2/F 
  saying it's the only language we understand, we understand


 

Cadd2          *    D              *      Em7     *   
  And all    those lives, we'll never     know 
  If we       turn round with 16 miles to go 
  And all    those lives, we'll never     know 
  If we       turn round with 16 miles to go 





[Outro]: 

first 3 bars of TAB above, followed by :

     Em7                                                          /F# G

                              | --> 
                              Heavy on the bass strings 


EADGBe
X32033 - Cadd2 
X32032 - C(b5)add2    'flattened 5th'
XX0233 - Dsus4
XX0232 - D
022033 - Em7
022033 - Em7add2
320033 - G
XX2033 - Cadd2/F

The trick is to fret the B and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e. pinky on
B string, 3rd finger on e string) so you can slide down to the second fret on
the e string for the last beat in each bar (marked "*" above).

e.g. for a Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar)
   ______o____

I think that's about it, any comments (or better chord names!) welcome.
