Lyrics

(G)1.

is the last time

that (C)I will say these words, I re mem ber the first time,

the first of ma ny lies.

Sweep it in to the cor ner,

or hide it un der the bed.

Say these things they go a way,

but they

nev er do.

Some thing I was n’t sure of

but I was in the mid dle of,

some (A)thing I for get now,

but I’ve seen too lit tle of.

The last

time

you fall on me for (D7)a ny thing you like.

Your (G)one last line,

you fall on me for (D7)a ny thing you like.

And (Em)years make ev ’ry thing al right, you (Am7)fall on me for (D7)a ny thing you like.

And (Em)I, no, I don’t (Am7)mind.

(G)2.

is the last time

that (C)I will show my face, one last ten der lie and

(C)then I’m out of this place.

Tread it in to the car pet,

or hide it un der the stairs.

You say that some things nev er die, well I tried, and I tried.

Some thing I was n’t sure of

but I was in the mid dle of,

some (A)thing I for get now,

but I’ve seen too lit tle of.

The last

time

you fall on me for (D7)a ny thing you like.

Your (G)one last line,

you fall on me for (D7)a ny thing you like.

And (Em)years make ev ’ry thing al right, you (Am7)fall on me for (D7)a ny thing you like.

And (Em)I, no, I don’t (Am7)mind.

The last mind.

About β€œThis Is The Last Time”

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "This Is The Last Time" suitable for a pianist?
Yes β€” both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key G, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "This Is The Last Time" by Keane in?
The backing track is in G at 132 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones β€” the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "This Is The Last Time" with this accompaniment?
Yes β€” 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 "This Is The Last Time"?
Effectively yes β€” it's the piano-only backing for "This Is The Last Time", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "This Is The Last Time" as a backing track for my instrument?

What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode β€” both hands, classic piano notation, key of G, real chord symbols β€” but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "This Is The Last Time" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes β€” treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
