The third verse is a bit tricky because there are two different verses intersecting, the first verse and the
third one. I wrote it out like the original verse then wrote the  new lines underneath where they would be
synced with the song. The chords are timed exactly the same as they were in the first verse, and I kept the
chords where they originally were as reference, but I duplicated and moved chords to hang over the new lines
to show exactly where they should be changed in terms of timing. I hope this all makes sense!
