It Ends Tonight — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
18 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "It Ends Tonight" by The All-American Rejects: 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 A, 90 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your chord vocabulary — eighteen different shapes including power chords, sus voicings, and seventh chords means your right hand will constantly be adjusting finger positions.
At 90 BPM the tempo is forgiving, so use that breathing room to land each new shape cleanly rather than rushing ahead.
Your left hand plays an octave bass pattern throughout, which keeps things steady but demands a comfortable stretch, so warm up that hand first.
I'd suggest learning the verse and chorus separately, hands alone, at around 60 BPM until the chord transitions — especially moving between Fmaj7, Csus2, and Gsus4 — feel automatic.
Those sus and seventh chords are where most students stumble, because the shapes are close to familiar major chords but not quite.
Nail those and you'll walk away with real confidence reading beyond basic triads, which pays off in everything you play next.
