[Verse 3]

             
As he begins t

       
o raise his vo

ice
            
You lower your

             
s and grant hi

    
m one last cho

ice
            
Drive until yo

           
u lose the roa


d
             
Or break with 

       
the ones you’v

e followed
              
He will do one

          
 of two things

 
 
             
He will admit 

             
to everything
          
Or he’ll say h

   
e’s just not t

he same
              
And you’ll beg
