Lyrics

An oth er day, an oth er dol lar gone.

When I get up in the morn ing, I just can’t go on.

I feel the out stretched hands of time;

I ain’t ly in’.

But some thing’s call ing from down deep with in, like I fi n’lly start ed liv ing for my self a gain.

I shake the out stretched hands of time

I ain’t ly in’.

Changed my mind.

’Cause I wan na run

that (Bm)race.

I wan na run

that (Bm)race.

I’ll do it on

my (Bm)pace, long as I get to run that race a gain.

I feel dis cour aged and I doubt my self, but you know you can’t blame it on no bod y else.

On ly you know where it is you be long.

Sing a long:

We got ta run

that (Bm)race.

We got ta run

that (Bm)race.

We’ll do it on

our (Bm)pace, long as we get to run that race a gain.

When I lay my head on my (A)pil low at night, I think a bout what’s still go ing (Gmaj7)right.

Thank the stars up a bove there’s (F#sus)still things left that I (F#)know.

I wan na run

that (Bm)race.

I wan na run

that (Bm)race.

I wan na run

that (Bm)race.

About “Run That Race

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Run That Race"?
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 E. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Run That Race" by Dan Auerbach played in?
Run That Race is arranged in the key of E on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Run That Race"?
The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Run That Race" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "Run That Race"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Run That Race"?
"Run That Race" was originally performed by Dan Auerbach. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Run That Race" 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 E, 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 120 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.
