Verse:
I can pretend that I dont see you,

I can say that nothing was right,
But we know if I looked in your eyes I'd break down,

After 2 times, this over dubs. 
You can try it or keep the driving riff from the original verse.

Repeat the first verse including the overdub:

If I told you that I love you,
But Im doing alright without you it'd be a lie, But I could try,
Id run 1000 miles we're leaving,
You're the only one, I want you breathing to break down,

There is a synth overdub throughout this entire verse as well and 
I have included it in case you want to play it. It sounds great, 
it may actually be one of my favourite riffs from the album.

(Synth Overdub)-It just shifts back and forth between Bm and Amaj
