How does it feel when some one's stripped you bare?

How does it feel when there’s light shin ing on your ev ’ry in ten tion?

’Cause peo ple laugh at (C)you

for try’n’ to change

the world.

It’s just (Em)small town, (C)small dreams.

The (D)same old fac es, (Em)still they (C)haunt me

and (D)I’m just try’n’ to (Em)find a way to (C)block it out.

I’m just try’n’ to (A)find a way to block them out.

’Cause I’m tired of them look ing (Em)down,

(G)m hm, I’m (D)tired of them look ing (Em)down,

m (D)hm.

And how does it feel when some one lets you down?

You’ve got a head full of thorns when you should real ly be wear ing a crown.

(Oh)

But at least a crowd ed room will nev er seem emp ty with a cons cience al ways sid ing a gainst me.

(Em)Small town (C)laid to rest.

Don’t (D)hurt me with your (Em)kill er lines and (C)ci ga rettes.

I want (D)more than just your (Em)teen age thrills and (C)brain less sex.

Tell me (D)just how good it (A)feels to be re bel li ous.

’Cause you got me feel ing (G)down.

Said it’s got me feel ing (Em)down.

(Em)Oh,

And (Em)how do you feel when some one (C)lets you down?

A (G)head full of thorns, you should be (D)wear ing a crown.

(Em)How do you feel when some one's (C)stripped you bare?

(G)Peo ple laugh at you and (D)peo ple laugh at you and (Em)how do you feel a bout these (C)me mo ries?

My (G)cons cience is close, she’s my worst en e my.

She wants to know where I’m go ing.

She wants to know where I’m go ing,

About “Old Faces”

Can I sing "Old Faces" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Old Faces" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in E, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Old Faces" by Laura Doggett in?
The backing track is in E at 75 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Old Faces" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Old Faces"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Old Faces", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Old Faces" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Old Faces"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Old Faces"?
"Old Faces" was originally performed by Laura Doggett. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
Is there a karaoke version of "Old Faces" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Old Faces" by Laura Doggett. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Old Faces" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in E, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Old Faces" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
