The rhythms in this song are fairly difficult, especially in the fast section of the chorus, but listening to
it should help. Otherwise, you could probably eliminate the second C# and B in the sixth and eighth lines of
the chorus. So it would be:
C# F#
Through all the heartbreak
B C# F# C# F#
We'll make it feel like the first time, first time
I've found it's really hard to play that section and sing it at the same time, but this sounds tolerably
similar and is slower.
