In the chorus B7 sounds better than Bm and in the verse Bb sounds better than Bm
Anyone listend to the verison by Egg yet?
The B7 thing has been mentioned, but also on the verses, every time it gets to the “It’s not that I didn’t care it’s that I didn’t know. It’s not what I didn’t feel, it’s what I didn’t show,” cut the Em and just play C, B7 until the chorus.
yeah definately. Yay Maroon 5!
same the B7 sounds much better and in my opinion it is easier to play with the Em
Bm in the pre-chorus doesn’t feel right, I play a B7. That’s just me.
