Okay, this is the way to play this song without tuning down.  It is done true to form. It starts after the 
lead part.  All chords will be barre except those notated.
C#2  F#  C#2  F#
C#2It's the way he looks at you that says to mF#e this isn't over
C#2From the outside looking in you see there's nothing F#sacred here, nothing sacred
G#sus4You can bend but you can't G#break
(Second verse, same as the first:)
For the reasons out of our control, you try to make it roll like a dice away
But you say that you're all empowered here. This is obviously not clear enough to me
You can bend but you can't break, you can't break
F#Hey little G#girl Keep dancing    A#mHey little gG#irl alone
