"Turn Your Heart Around"

When I listened to Keats a couple days ago, I also noticed a small thing in "Turn Your Heart Around."  "On" in the line "This can't go on" is sung with a melisma (E F#), giving a sense of continuation.

I listened to Colin Blunstone's On the Air Tonight yester-day morning, and last night I tried figuring out just the opening piano part of "Turn Your Heart Around."  I ended up getting the chords too. 

It's not that interesting to listen to though.

I figured out the opening keyboard part and the chords to "Turn Your Heart Around."  I used the version from On the Air Tonight for my recording, but I checked the version on Keats, and - while I haven't investigated to see if the structure is the same - I discovered that it's a whole-step higher.  Additionally, where the On the Air Tonight version opens with piano, the Keats version uses some type of synthesizer.
