Nice job. The only changes I would make would be in the last line of the Chorus, I would make the Chords C, G, D, instead of your progression of G, C, D. It seems to fit better with the other Chorus line progression. Also, the last time through the Bridge, which you have listed as Bridge 2, I wouldn't change the chords to match Franni's vocals. I believe she switches to a higher harmony part while the others sing the normal Bridge ending. I actually sent a Facebook Message to the band to ask if they change Chords at the last Bridge ending, and they actually responded and said no, they play the same Chords as the other Bridges.

Excellent Job!

This is the best song ever!
