For the electric guitarists, again here's a riff during this part.
Palm mute the notes to tame the distortion.

FINALE:
Am Em Dm Dm Am

This chord progression is repeated throughout the rest of the song.
"
You are, you are the love of my life + Aah
Now, you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me - it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are, you are the love of my life + Aah
Girl, you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection in everything I do
You're my reflection, and all I see is you
My reflection in everything I do
You are, you are the love of my life + Aah
"
