You can notice that in the 1st Verse, there is a section added (C x 2) that is not in the 2nd Verse. That was to give more space between the Intro and the 1st Verse. Section A is always followed by section B, and because section B has an extra beat in it, the song can't go back and start the Verse on part B (without being very obvious). So, part C is just played an extra 2 times. The Bass line is very sneaky because even though some of the notes change from measure to measure, they only change by a half-step! If you turn up the bass on your stereo and listen closely, you'll understand. Playing just the bass notes along with the song makes it even easier to spot. Enjoy!
