The rhythms in this song are fairly difficult, especially in the fast section of the chorus, but listening to
it should help. Otherwise, you could probably eliminate the second C# and B in the sixth and eighth lines of 
the chorus. So it would be:
Through all the C#heartbreaF#k
We'll make it fBeel like the fC#irst F#time, C#firsF#t time
I've found it's really hard to play that section and sing it at the same time, but this sounds tolerably
similar and is slower.
