I tried out both -2 and -5, and they both sound pretty nice as well. Love the original too, just wanted to suggest others give it a try as well! :]

after "all your life" the IV should then go to the minor iv before resolving back to I for "you were only waiting..."

Okay so this song sounded kinda off (no offense to anyone) so i tried figuring out what it was.
I changed the chorus to: F, C, G
That sounds about right to my ears anyways.
When it comes to the last part of the chorus just play F and G :DD
Hope this helps anyone *thumps up*
