Verse 2
"So tired of this straight line, and everywhere or you turn"
"There's vultures and thieves at your back"
"The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies"
"That you make up for all that you lack."
"It don't make no difference, escaping one last time"
"It's easier to believe"
"In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness"
"That brings me to my knees."
Definetely my own interpretation. Did not really work from Sarah's piano arrangement.
Which is awesome.But, apples and oranges. Thought the piece needed a bit more harmonic
color when played on guitar. Hope Sarah doesn't mind. "Added Bridge" is my own invention.
Disregard if you wish. Pretty though and provides a nice bridge from chorus 1 to verse 2.
Melody is stepwise except for 3rd down from Gto E at the end.
