In The End — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

Free karaoke for "In The End" by Linkin Park: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of Bb, 98 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence moving through chords in the key of B♭ — your left hand plays block-style bass notes, so you can keep things steady and grounded while your right hand handles the melody.
At 98 BPM it's not fast, but the transitions between B♭ and A can trip you up because they sit just a half step apart; practice that shift slowly until your fingers know exactly where to land without looking down.
The move from Dm to F is another one to isolate — loop just those two chords until the hand shape change feels automatic.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, getting the left-hand bass pattern locked in like a metronome before layering the melody on top.
Once both hands are comfortable, bring them together at around 70 BPM and gradually work up to full tempo.
Watch out for the tendency to rush through the verse into the chorus; keep your rhythm even throughout.
This is the song that'll really solidify how minor and major chords trade off to create that melancholic-but-driving feel — a skill you'll use in so many rock and pop pieces going forward.
