The 3rd and 4th verse are the same except
the 4th verse has and extra line:

3rd verse
A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         Surrender down comes everything
A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         Breathes no more and falls to sleep 
A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         Blind and helpless sick and dead
A (x02220@1)                      A (x02220@1)
4th verse
A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         Treasure waits complete and there
A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         With scattered needles everywhere
A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         Thorn at the end of every road
A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         Thorn at the end of every road
A (x02220@1)                      A (x02220@1)Then the song goes into the chorus and the post 
chorus ascending part, call it a bridge if you like. 
The A holds on twice as long at the end of the ascending 
pattern also.
