[Intro]
   

          
Oh yeah,

  

        
Heard about a 

person who had

 a broken hear

t
            
with nothing t

 
o drive him on

 no hope no sp

ark no flame,
      
He couldnt see

 at all tears 

they were blin

ding him
          
And he kept it

 
 all inside th

e guilt and al

l the pain
        
You know I say

 I tried to wa

rn him
         
They had him b

              
acked up again

   
st the wall

I hope I'm not to late

      
No one can tel

l you exactly 

what you have 

got'a be
             
You've got to 

       
stand your gro

und and fight 

to save your l

ife
      
It may be hard

 but oooh it's

 the only way
      
And always rem

embering there

 ain't no seco

nd prize

There ain't no second prize
