What I did here is skip the first (and weakest) chorus and dropped straight into the second chorus. I also reduced the guitar solo after this chorus. Then, after the second chorus, I completely removed that instrumental bridge and we dive right into the final chorus.

I think it gives the song more overall momentum. What do you guys think? Another option would be to skip the first chorus as arranged in this edit in this edit and go straight into the second chorus. Essentially jumping from 1:18 in this edit to 2:39. That would cut it down to about 2.5 minutes in total and you’d get the most chorus. I’m not trying to rush you just giving you options!
