Note: Chords at this verse may sound funny because Chris' vocals change
at some point. Don't know what I mean? Check out the 3rd line.
But it should be okay because it is a running chords for verse.
For electric guitar, Jonny just do the same thing but he add some
spies in it.
Verse 3:
Amin
She'll be my mirror,
Emaj
Reflect what I am,
Bsus
A loser and a winner,
Amin
The King of Siam,
Emaj
And my Siamese twin,
Bsus
She knows what I'm thinking,
