Simply play the progression of the earlier over and over again until the song fades out. NOTE: Daryl Hall's solo work is definately underrated - this song is is proof of that!! free to replace the "G5" in the line "Nothing waiting for me but a lonely room" (see with an "Em" if it sounds better. If the either the rhythm or timing of the chords doesn't make sense, just listen to the song - it should be pretty self-explanatory.
