From here, the exact same melody is played: Verse 2 is played exactly like Verse 1, and the Chorus 2 is played exactly like Chorus 1. Here are the lyrics for reference: (Verse 2) I was drunk on the night we met, I might try to forget, except I know So were you And I don't really care, 'cause we went on from there And I tried not to hide what's true (Chorus 2) The other night, I had this dream You told me what you want from me I'll give it to you instantly And I woke up without a clue Finish on:
