  The Choruses are something like the into:

  

    You know that you want it....                                  etc...

  ----             -------           -------          -------      ----

  ----             ---3---           ---5---          ---3---      ----

  -2--             ---2---           ---4---          ---2---      -2--

  -2--             ---4---           ---6---          ---4---      -2--

  -O--             ---O---           ---O---          ---O---      -O--

  ----             -------           -------          -------      ----
