                                         Holdin' me back
                                         Gravity's holdin' me back

          I want you to hold out the palm of your hand                   Why don't we leave it at that?

                         Nothin' to say
                         When everything gets in the way

    Seems you cannot be replaced
    And I'm the one who will stay, oh

                    In this world, it's just us

    You know it's not the same as it was                                                In this world, it's just us

                                                         You know it's not the same as it was
                                                         As it was, as it was

                               You know it's not the

    Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet

    I don't wanna talk about the way that it was                         Leave America, two kids follow her

                                                                         I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
