Chorus Harmony and Dynamics
The chorus introduces a slight shift, maintaining the C and F chords but adding a
Dm into the mix to deepen the emotional impact. This part of the song emphasizes
the universal experience of fluctuating emotions and the unexpected nature of life's
changes.
When playing the chorus, focus on dynamically transitioning between the chords.

and renewal that life offers.
Playing Tips
Pay attention to the rhythm and dynamics of your strumming. A gentle approach
suits the song's reflective nature, but don't be afraid to add emphasis in the
chorus to highlight the emotional peaks.
The transition between the chords, especially when introducing the Dm in the
chorus, should be smooth and natural. Practice these changes to ensure they
don't disrupt the flow of the song.
The emotional delivery of the song is key. Let the lyrics guide your playing style,
and aim to convey the song's message of hope and resilience through your music.
Use the interlude and outro as opportunities to experiment with slight variations in
strumming patterns or dynamics, adding personal touches while staying true to
the song's essence.
