verse 3 (sometimes included in live version)
+++++++
B A Emaj
well, somebody's something was left in the room, and now that it's gone of course we assume,
B A Emaj
that somebody else needed something so bad, that they took everything somebody had,
B A Emaj
somebody saw him jump yeah but nobody saw him slip, i guess he lost a lot of hope
and then he lost his grip,
B A Emaj
and now he's lying in the freeway in the middle of this mess, I guess we lost
another one, just like the other one,
