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

 D'you ever see London at night and not want to go   home ? 
 D'you ever take drugs    stay up late       just to see what you would see 
 D'you ever have love and hate scratched  across your hand ? 
                                                            or did you turn 
 round                      with     16         miles to go ? 
  
  
 Cadd2              *       Dsus4                *             Em7     * 
 D'you ever  just   walk     away    and      disappear for days ? 
 D'ou ever have a girl----friend       called            Catherine Wheel? 
 D'you  ever come home from work  and  say  I'm never going back again? 
                                                          or did you turn 
 round                         with      16         miles  to  go ? 
  
     
   
    
  
  
 [Outro]: 
  
 first 3 bars of TAB above, followed by :

 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)

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