F-Bb-C-F Notes: I find that the F and Bb in the second-to-last line of each stanza is I placed them where I thought they sounded best, but they are subjective. Also, at the of stanza, Joel goes up the bass from F to Bb (starting at F to G etc.) and when the bass to Bb the chord changes. That’s easier to understand on piano
