TINKERING: TINKERING: TINKERING: TINKERING: TINKERING: TINKERING: TINKERING:
Your Pre-Chorus has to 'lift', letting the listener know you're getting to the Chorus.
Your Chorus has to have 'contrast'. It can't sound just like the Verse.
Verse is C G F C C G F C.
Chorus is C G F C C G F C Am F G C
Very similar. Chorus has to have its own distinctive Melody.
I moved some words around, made some changes. Play through it and see if it can work this way.
