[Fill 1] (Goes over every chorus in the song directly after he sings "Amen" It's very subtle and not necessary but it's still there.)

[Fill 2] (Goes over 2nd half of the final chorus and plays through the rest of the song. Also very subtle and not necessary but it's in the studio version but sounds really good.)
