Pick a learning view.
Strand ed in the spook y town.
Stop lights are sway ing and the phone lines are down.
Floor is crack ling cold.
She took my heart, I think she took my soul.
With the moon I run
far from the car nage of the fier y sun.
Driv en by the stran gle of veins
show ing no mer cy.
all I’d do it a gain.
O pen up your eyes.
You keep I on cry ing, ba by.
I’ll bleed you dry.
The skies, they blink at I’m me.
I see a storm of bub bling up from the sea,
and it’s (A)com ing clos er,
and it’s (A)com ing clos er.
You en shim my shook my of bones
leav ing me strand ed all in love on a own.
Do you think of me?
Where am I on now?
Ooh, ba by, where do I sleep?
It feels so good but I’m old.
Two thou sand years of chas ing up ing its toll,
and it’s (A)com ing clos er,
and it’s (A)com ing clos er.
You
And it’s (A)com ing clos er.
And it’s (A)com ing clos er.

About “Closer”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Closer"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature B. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Closer" by Kings Of Leon played in?
- Closer is arranged in the key of B on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Closer"?
- The arrangement plays at 90 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Closer" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "Closer"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Closer"?

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Closer" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature B, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
