After the second time through this, it doesn't do the C/D C/E C/F C/G

thing. It just ends on an F and goes to the chorus:

It might as well be you that I wake up to tomorrow

------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------1--------------------------3-------------

----------------------------------------------1-------------

And it might as well be you that tonight
