Chordingly aligns the sheet, detects beats and downbeats, transcribes likely guitar notes, and builds a playable arrangement. The uploaded file is deleted immediately after processing; only the extracted analysis is retained.

AI reference · supporting evidence Mixed · 4/4 · about 60 BPM

Compact acoustic arrangement in F major at 60 BPM. Use four-bar F–Dm–C–C7 cycles for the main sections; the bridge and final refrain use one bar per chord with Bb as the resolution color. Fingerpick the verses and pre-choruses, then broaden into restrained strumming for choruses and the ending.

Timing check: At 60 BPM in 4/4, each bar is 4 seconds. The 86-bar compact arrangement lasts about 344 seconds, closely matching the verified 341-second recording; the small difference allows for pickup vocal timing and sustained final notes. Adjacent full-bar chord events were paired because the literal interpretation exceeded the verified recording duration.

Expected about 85 bars; arranged 66.0 bars (about 264 seconds, recording 341 seconds).

[First Part]
|  |  |
Just stop your crying
|  |  |
It's a sign of the times
|  |  |
Welcome to the final show
Hope you're wearing your best clothes
|  |  |
You can't bribe the door
|  |  |
On your way to the sky
|  |  |
You look pretty good down here
But you ain't really good

[Pre-Chorus]
|  |  |
We never learn, we been here before
|  |  |
Why are we always
Stuck and running from
|  |  |
The bullets, The bullets?
|  |  |
We never learn, we been here before
|  |  |
Why are we always
Stuck and running from
|  |  |
The bullets, The bullets?

Just stop your crying

It's a sign of the times

We gotta get away from here
We gotta get away from here
|  |  |
Just stop your crying
|  |  |
It will be alright
|  |  |
They told me that the end is near
|  |  |
We gotta get away from here

[Second Part]
|  |  |
Just stop your crying
|  |  |
Have the time of your life
|  |  |
Breaking through the atmosphere
Things are pretty good from here
|  |  |
|  |  |
Remember everything will be alright
|  |  |
We can meet again somewhere
|  |  |
Somewhere far away from here

[Pre-Chorus]
|  |  |
We never learn, we been here before
|  |  |
Why are we always
Stuck and running from
|  |  |
The bullets?

We never learn, we been here before

Why are we always
Stuck and running from

[Bridge]
|  |  |
We don't talk enough
|  |  |
We should open up
|  |  |
|  |  |
Before it's all too much
|  |  |
Will we ever learn?
|  |  |
|  |  |
We've been here before
|  |  |
It's just what we know
|  |  |
Stop your crying, baby
|  |  |
It's a sign of the times
|  |  |
We gotta get away
|  |  |
We got to get away
|  |  |
We got to get away
|  |  |
We got to get away
|  |  |
We got to get away
|  |  |
We got to, we got to away
|  |  |
We got to, we got to away
|  |  |
We got to, we got to away
