Verse 2: (same pattern as Verse 1)
An empty hand, reaching out for someone.
An empty heart, takes so little to fill.
It's so much easier, to push instead of pull.
So baby, baby. Don't give up.

This is a really cool song done acoustically. IMHO, the version on the
Van Halen Live CD is much better than the version on Sammy's solo album.
I won't vouch for the accuracy of this transcription, as I am an engineer
and not a music major...With that in mind, I am welcome to any corrections
or questions :)
