LH plays in G & Am positions.  Movement accomplished by reaching interval 6th and finger substitution on repeated notes. RH plays in C, D & Em positions.  While most of the melody is in stepwise movement, there are numerous leaps of 6th and an octave.

By Ajr With Hayley Kiyoko & Ahhhaa. By Adam Metzger, Hayley Alcroft, Jack Metzger, and Ryan Metzger. Arranged by Jim Lansing. Instructional,Pop,Rock,Singer/Songwriter. Score. 3 pages. Jim Lansing #6572641. Published by Jim Lansing (A0.896103).

Early Intermediate level piano arrangement of 2020 AJR hit transposed to Dm for less black keys.  Syncopation smoothed out for easier reading; once notes are learned, encourage player to use their ear to fix the rhythms to match the artist's recordings.  Numerous off-beat melody entrances are helped by LH playing on the preceding beat to keep sense of rhythmic pulse.

LH plays lots of 5ths: D-A, Bb-F, C-G.  RH is mostly in Dm and F positions.  RH will reach to interval of 6th and move mostly on rests.  Both hands will play stepwise in parallel motion for 3 beats (the Bang! Bang! Bang! cadence) at the end of each 8 mm phrase.
