2ND VERSE:  (played the same as 1st Verse except for the last line)

It's all a game of give and take
You only deal in rental
You never had too much at stake
She gave her full potential
Now, you're trapped within yourself
Your muffled cries of help

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

A sacrifice is hard to make
When you don't know denial
It's gone too far, it's much too late
There'll never be a trial
Now don't come to me for help
'Cause I'm out for myself
Go find somebody else

Notes:
-where repeat signs are indicated, the bracketed number on top of the staff
 shows how many repeats
-I tried various different fretboard fingerings for measures 9 & 10 of
 the main guitar solo (a 16th note run). I'm not sure what the absolute
 correct fretboard position is, I just went with the fingering that best
 led into the next phrase
-the width of the tab didn't allow for this indication, but in the main
 riff the double stops at the 10th fret should get just a bit of a bend
 (this applies to every time those double stops are played)

 eg. Chorus:    E ---12-10^q--------------------|
                B ---12-10^q--------------------|
                G ----------------7-7---10-10---|
                D ----------------7-7---10-10---| etc.
