P.S. Ern, that's fascinating about "Because" being based on "Moonlight Sonata" backwards. That is AWESOME! I have to go compare the chord progressions in both songs now . . . WOW!

No, the rhyme scheme is perfect - ABAB in the verse and AABB in the chorus. We rock!

but I think the bridge should be a two-liner, not four.

[claire]

and on third thought, shouldn't the bridge connect two choruses and not have a third verse in there? country structure...
