This is a very strange song to say the least. Befroe I watched the movie, I knew that has lots of chord changes, but there was more. The beginning is straightforward enough, the end is really complicated that even I can't put the chords and lyrics in correctly. The chords and lyrics are based on the 2004 version of 'Phantom of the Oprah' by John Schumacher.
