Lyrics
Who’s gon na tell you when
it’s (C)too late?
Who’s gon na tell you things
aren’t so great?
You can’t go on
think ing
noth ing’s (D)wrong.
What now?
Who’s gon na drive you home
to night?
Who’s gon na pick you up
when (C)you fall?
Who’s gon na hang it up
when you call?
Who’s gon na pay at ten tion
to (C)your dreams?
And who’s gon na plug their ears

You can’t go on

Oh,

- 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 "Drive" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in C, 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 "Drive" 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.
