      D. (I'm not a good vocalist) Anyway, try to sing to the chord and
      you find it okay.

It could be worse,

I could be locked in here on my own,

C                       F
Like a stone that suddenly drops,

Calling out from beneath the waves,

It could be snapped from the jaws of defeat,

C                    F
Like a light lit upon a beach,

          Am9
Wear your heart on your sleeve,

You want to stop before you begin,

Note: About the chorus & intro, I still don't really know how to show
      you guys the way of struming on some parts of the strings & in
      the same time to change the chords. I guess you'll have to try
      it out if you know the song very well.
