In My Rearview
B♭ major89 BPM4/43:43Country Hearthigh confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in A and it sounds in B♭ major. Much easier than fingering B♭ major straight.
Verse 1
Pulled off where the highway bends
Rusty old sign said "Welcome back Friend"
Grass through the cracks of the parking lot
Same sweet tea
But the ice has changed spots
Saw our names carved in the corner booth
Half washed away
Still telling the truth
Your laugh came back like a song I knew
Soft as the dust on my worn-out shoes
Chorus
These backroads in my rearview
Still look brand new in my mind
Little snapshots out the window
Rolling past in their own time
Every mile keeps on going
But it all slows down in my chest
I can't hold on to the moment
But I can thank it as it rests
Yeah
I can't keep time from moving
But I can love it while it's passing me
I guess
Verse 2
Driveway chalk from a childhood game
Faded out lines
But I see our names
Porch light glow on a Friday night
Dad humming low while the sky turned white
First slow dance in a high school gym
Smelled like cologne and cheap aerosol wind
Thought we'd stay young in that yellow room
Now it's a memory that leaves too soon
Chorus
These backroads in my rearview
Still look brand new in my mind
Little snapshots out the window
Rolling past in their own time
Every mile keeps on going
But it all slows down in my chest
I can't hold on to the moment
But I can thank it as it rests
Yeah
I can't keep time from moving
But I can love it while it's passing me
I guess
Bridge
Guess it's all just borrowed air
A kitchen chair
An old front stair
Where we sat talking like the night would never end (oh-oh)
Now I drive a little slower
Stay a little longer
Say "I love you" like I won't get the chance again
Final Chorus
These backroads in my rearview
Still look brand new in my mind
Little snapshots out the window
Rolling past in their own time
Every mile keeps on going
But it all slows down in my chest
I can't hold on to the moment
But I can thank it as it rests
Yeah
I can't keep time from moving
But I can love it while it's passing me
I guess
I can love it while it's passing me, I guess

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
