Suggestions for this one: --- Eb9 instead of Eb7 in the first 2 lines of verses; --- chord right after "glad", before chorus and "colder" in bridge: Eb7sus4; --- Fm instead of Ab6 in first 2 chorus lines; --- AbM7 in "sadder"; --- Bbm/Ab in "bluer" of chorus last line; . All minor but worth considering. :D
