"You could be right but it doesn't matter"

"Oh, how I've won and set it right
Because I've become, become upright
But oh, how I break
Might return once again to my old ways
But how I fight"
Play Chorus Again, hold out chorus ending an additional bar
Bridge - strumming is hard to tell here but the notes are right
