(Ebmaj7)I can’t sleep.

(Fsus)Let’s run a way and don’t (Ebmaj7)ev er look back, don’t ev (Fsus)er look back.

(Fsus)So take a chance and don’t (Ebmaj9)ev er look back, don’t ev (Fsus)er look back.

Teenage Dream — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chords in a pop context — those Ebmaj7, Ebmaj9, and Bbsus2 voicings sound lush but sit nicely under your fingers once you've mapped them out.

Your left hand plays block bass, so the rhythmic drive comes mainly from your right hand; focus on locking that right-hand pulse to the 120 BPM groove before speeding up.

The trickiest transitions tend to be moving between Fsus4 and Gm cleanly — practice just that two-chord shift in a slow loop until the fingering feels automatic.

I'd suggest hands-separate work first, especially to nail the stretch in those maj9 shapes, then combine at around 80 BPM and build up gradually.

Watch your timing on the sus2 and sus4 chords; students often rush through suspensions instead of letting them breathe.

This is the song that'll make extended major voicings feel like second nature in your playing.
