Verse 2:

Nothin' can hold us and nothin' can keep us down
And someday our names will be spread all over town
We can get in while the getting is good
So make it on your own, yeah, you know that you could
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

We got to make the break
'Cause we got too much at stake

[repeat chorus]

guitar solo over verse chord progression [4X]

We made enough mistakes
But you know we got what it takes

[repeat chorus]
