Hello everyone, this version is according to the original version of the song.
There's already another version out there but I just feel like the chords are not really 
according to the original song.
So I'm making this cause I really love this song and I think this song deserves more justice.
Feel free to comment if you feel like there's anything wrong :)
P.S. I know some chords are still a bit off (especially in the bridge part), but this is the 
closest I can get to since I'm not a pro :p

CCurtains open Cup the scene, spotlights shine on Gmyou and me, tonFight
