We’ll do it all,
ev ’ry thing
on our own.
We don’t need
I an y thing
or an y one.
If I lay here,
if I just (E)lay here,
would you lie (Dsus2)with me and just for get the world?
I don’t quite know
how to say
how I feel.
Those three words,
I said too much,
then not e nough.
If I lay here,
if I just (E)lay here,
would you lie (Dsus2)with me and just for get the world?
For get what we’re told
be fore we get (E)too old.
Show me a (Dsus2)gar den that’s burst ing in to life.
Let’s waste time
chas ing cars
a round our heads.
I need your grace
to re mind me
to find my own.
If I lay
All that I am,
all that I (E)ev er was
is here in your (Dsus2)per fect eyes, they’re all I can see.
I don’t know where,
con fused a bout (E)how as well.
Just know that these (Dsus2)things will nev er change for us at all.
If I lay here,
if I just (E)lay here,
would you lie (Dsus2)with me and just for get the world?
Chasing Cars — Simple Sheet Music
9 people have learned this song
"Chasing Cars" in simplified sheet music format — the bridge between beginner modes and real sheet music. Color-coded notes with lyrics scrolling horizontally. Perfect for learning to read music. Key of A, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with a small chord set — just three chords (A power, Dsus2, and E) cycling in a steady, peaceful pattern at 100 BPM.
Your left hand plays block bass notes, so focus on landing each root cleanly and holding it with light sustain pedal; lift the pedal right as you change chords to keep things from getting muddy.
The trickiest moment is the shift from Dsus2 back to A — your right hand needs to reposition quickly without rushing the beat, so loop that two-chord transition slowly until it feels automatic.
Start hands-separate: get the left-hand roots steady like a heartbeat, then layer in the right-hand voicings.
Once both hands sync comfortably, bring it up to tempo.
The song's simplicity is its power — this is the piece that teaches you how much expression you can pull from just dynamics and timing alone.
