2ND VERSE:
(played same as 1st Verse, except 1st measure is the same as measures 2-7)

Don't you know, all the time
You got yours and you know that I have mine
Grab a hold, don't let go
Don't let them rob you of the only way you know
Oh no, no one else
Got the right to make you sorry for yourself

3RD VERSE:   (played same as 2nd Verse)

So you see, the only proof
Of what you are is in the way you hear the truth
Don't be scared, live to win
Although they're always gonna tell you it's a sin
In the end you're on your own
And there is no one that can stop you being alone
Stay
