Some notes on this song: In the first 2 bars of every verse and whenever that 2 bars of F happen, there are some colorations within the F root in 4/4 time : F/Fmaj7/F6/Fmaj7. This would be a 2-bar phrase. Then of course there's the Key change. As we come out of the last bridge, the song goes down 1 full step, instead of changing keys 1/2 step up as is most typically done. Robert Godfrey sugested this alternate : In the first bridge the three A flats should be C suspended 4th to C.
