Dude, they skipped a part of the song the ‘want you to know I believed in your song’ part near the end
After the bridge (“When my mind is free”) they skipped a verse.
So repeat the same chords of the first verse. The lyrics are: “Thanks for the joy you’re giving me \ I want you to know I believe in your song \ Rhythm and rhyme, and harmony \ You’ve helped me along, making me strong”.
Then you repeat the chorus two more times! I hope that helped.
