he adds himself. He does a simple little fill before the B7B7 and it sounds like:

G+G                         C majorC
Oh, well, I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces
 D MajorD                G+G  D MajorD
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
   G+G              C majorC
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
 D MajorD                  G+G
So I think I'll get acquainted with the floor

     B7B7                    C majorC
Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do
B7B7               D MajorD
Hello, floorboards once again--how are you?

G+G                     C majorC
Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me
   D MajorD                  G+G     D MajorD
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
     G+G                    C majorC
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
   D MajorD                           G+G
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

G+G                     C majorC
All the sign posts on this road that point one way
D MajorD                         G+G  D MajorD
 Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes
G+G                 C majorC
I'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing more to say
D MajorD                          G+G
And it's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose

      B7B7               C majorC
Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly
B7B7                  D MajorD
I would've done the same for you, but you said to me:

G+G                     C majorC
Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me
   D MajorD                  G+G     D MajorD
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
     G+G                    C majorC
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
   D MajorD                           G+G
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
    D MajorD                           G+G
Oh just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
