Verse 2: Chords are the same like verse 1

you're looking down again
then  you look me over
we're laying down again
on a blanket in the clover
The same boy you've always known
well i guess i havn't grown
The same boy you've always known

kind of a bridge :
G
think of what the past did it could've lasted 
                   A     G  A
so put it in your basket
G
hope you know a strong man who can lend you a hand
              E
lowering my casket

Verse 3:same as verse 1

I thought this is just a day
and soon you'd be returning
the coldest blue ocean water
cannot stop my heart and mind 
from burning
C
   everyone who's in the knows says
G                              A
   that's exactly how it goes
C
  and if there's anything good about me
G (2x)                          A
     i'm the only one who knows
