This is quite good. Can I suggest for the Bridge .... C Bbm C7 Fm - Eb - C - Ab I don't need your reasons, don't tell me 'cause it hurts BRIDGE Db Fm7 B Gb(Ebm7) A - Db - Ebsus It's all ending, I gotta stop pretending who we are... | Eb7- Eb7- Eb7 - Ab | (Even though the major chords work through that descending sequence, if you listen carefully to the recording you can hear minor thirds working alternately through it) Anyway cheers, closest to mine.
