The first chorus is played without chords in the live version. The three notes before
the drop are the same as the G chord during the chorus (8-9-8), played where the D is played
during the second chorus. The drop is an alternation between G and C just like the verse, but
it sounds better as a long-held G if you arent singing the part at the same time.
