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,
