Verse 2: Beat switched back from 3/4 to standard 4/4 G#mE And the world will let you hang G#m I just made a pact with them E To always drop you where you land G#m I'll fight from my way and E I'll say that I've changed and I'll try to convince G#m you you should stay Whatever your goal I'll be here E Making sure you fail
