There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back

This transcription starts in D major.

The estimated tempo is 122 BPM, calculated from the median spacing between detected beats. This is a summary of the transcription; timing can vary during the song.

Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include G → D → Bm → D (20 occurrences); D → Bm → D → A (20 occurrences); D → A → D → G (13 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: IV → I → vi → I in D major; I → vi → I → V in D major; I → V → I → IV in D major. Think of Roman numerals as chord names you can take into any key. Uppercase is major, lowercase is minor; in minor keys, we count from the natural-minor scale.

Yes! In D major: The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the chorus at 0:43 and 0:50. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
