This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Additional lyrics
Verse 2
When your speech is slow
When your eyes are closed
When you feel betrayed
When your heart is 'fraid
When your feet are cold
When your sights are low
Vocal adlib at end
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
When you decide you've had enough
When you decide you've had enough
When you are set to throw it in
When you've had enough
When you're set to throw it in
When you're set to throw it in
When you're set to throw it in
Throw it in
Throw it in
