verse: x6
We can be the fastest we wanna be you dont own me
the only kids running time were losing our sleep
drinking 40s every night did you ask if im happy
but were all sad and thats just fine were still living
speeding down the 90 were too busy wasting our lives
im sorry dont be mad at me but i cant think entirely unless im high

intro// brigde: 3x
So ill just drink and run again maybe then we wont pretend that were alright...
caught between the past no end stuck in this chaotic mess of human right...
we cant seem to apprehend the mistakes of our madeup beds every night...

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.
About This Score
Read it, hear it, and learn it — free, in the browser, with nothing to install.
