(Em7)Cruel to the eye,

I see the (Dsus2)way he makes you smile.

(Em7)Cruel to the eye,

watch ing him (Dsus2)hold what used to be mine.

Why did I (Csus2)lie?

What did I (Cmaj7)walk a way to find?

Oh, (Csus2)why?

(D7sus4)Oh, (Cmaj7)why?

(Em7)I

can’t breathe (D)ea sy.

Can’t (Csus2)sleep at night

’til (Cmaj7)you’re by my side.

No, (Em7)I

can’t breathe (D)ea sy.

I can’t (Cmaj9)dream yet a no ther dream with out you ly ing next to me, there’s no (Cmaj7)air.

(F5)Curse me in (Em7)-

for ev e ry (Dsus2)word that caused to cry.

Curse me in (Em7)side,

I won’t for (Dsus2)get, no I won’t ba by, I

don’t know (Csus2)why,

don’t know why I left the (Cmaj7)one I was look ing find.

(Em7)I

Can’t (Csus2)sleep at night

’til (Cmaj7)you’re by my side.

About “Breathe Easy

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Breathe Easy" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key G, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Breathe Easy" by Blue in?
The backing track is in G at 81 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Breathe Easy" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Breathe Easy"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Breathe Easy", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Breathe Easy" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Breathe Easy"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Breathe Easy"?
"Breathe Easy" was originally performed by Blue. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Blue are available?
Other accompaniments by Blue: "Hurt Lovers". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of G, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Breathe Easy" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
