  on                  I'm barely     holding on to you
 
Verse 2: same as Verse 1
The broken locks were a warning
you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
they're still looking for life
 
Play Chorus
 
Bridge: (I haven't figured this part out yet, you might just play the verse again but
not sure...)
I'm hanging on another day
just to see what you would throw my way
and I'm hanging on to the words you say
you said that I will, will be okay.
 
Verse 3:
The broken lights on the freeway
left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven't forgotten my way home
 
Play Chorus

Doesn't sound at all like the song. Maybe you should listen to the song when you tab it.
