Repeat intro once more.

Verse 3:

      Bb              Eb              D      
Its a picture perfect evening and i'm staring down the
  G  G7
 sun
Bb     Eb    D                 G  G7
Fully loaded deaf and dumb and done
Bb          Eb          D             G  G7
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
Bb         Eb              D               G  G7
Or any situation where I'm better off than dead

End with playing the G chord over and over until the music's comes to a
hault.
