Free karaoke for "On Top Of The World" by Imagine Dragons: 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 C, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with suspended and color chords in a pop context.
Your left hand plays block chords throughout, so the main challenge isn't complex patterns — it's nailing clean transitions between closely related shapes like C and Csus2, or G, Gsus4, and Gpow.
Pay close attention to which finger lifts or shifts when moving between a chord and its suspended variant; often it's just one note changing, so keep your hand anchored and move only what needs to move.
At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the upbeat feel can tempt you to rush, so practice with a metronome and lock in the pulse before adding speed.
Start hands-separate, getting your left-hand chord changes automatic before layering in the melody.
Loop the verse progression — the C to F to Am to G cycle and its variants — until it feels effortless.
This is the song that'll make sus chords feel like second nature in your playing.
