                                                         [Chorus]
                                                         Cause' I always wish, I was smaller than this. And I just can't quit, pulling at my skin

                         Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like How I look and I waish I knew why

                                                                   Cause' I always wish, I was smaller than this.

                                         I'll set a goal for myself and i'll try to work hard. I'll reach it but swear i look just like i did from the start.

                    [Pre - Chorus]
                    I know it's not true but feel like i'm the only one.

                               I'm chasing a body that I know I'll never outrun.

                               [Chorus]
                               Cause' I always wish, I was smaller than this. And I just can't quit, pulling at my skin

    Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like How I look and I waish I knew why

                                              Cause' I always wish, I was smaller than this.

                    I'll always wish
                    I was smaller than this (I was smaller, I was smaller)
                    And I just can't quit, pulling at my skin F

    Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like How I look and I wish I knew why

                                              That I'll always wish, I was smaller than this.

Sara Kays - Smaller Than This (Lyric Video)

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.
