Lyrics

(Eb)How can I make sure no one (Gm)no ti ces me,

I (Cm)don’t wan na con ver (Gm)sa tion with (Fm)no bod y

and it (Ab)hurts too much to say how I feel.

What you don’t (Fm)know,

is all I (Bb)know.

(Eb)How can I make sure that I fool (Gm)ev ’ry one,

(Cm)gon na wear a suit and (Gm)tie and put my (Fm)brav est face on.

And it’s (Ab)far too deep to show you this wound.

No, it won’t (Fm)heal

no time soon.

No bod y knows

what I’m go ing through.

I’m (Fm)dy

ing in side.

(Fm)Who knows what I’m (Fm)think ing, what I’m (Eb)try ing to hide.

Yeah, I’m (Fm)dy

ing all night.

I’m (Cm)breath ing but I (Ab)can’t feel (Gm)life,

I’m (Fm)smil ing but I’m (Gm)dy’n’ in (Cm)side.

(Eb)How can I make sure I’m in (Gm)vi si ble,

or (Cm)find just a sim ple (Gm)phrase that may (Fm)say it all,

’cause it’s (Ab)far too soon and not the right time.

What I’ve (Fm)seen

was for my eyes

and (Eb)how can I make sure no one (Gm)wor ries for me?

’Cause (Cm)I don’t need a help ing (Gm)hand and don’t want (Fm)sym pa thy.

Don’t (Ab)know what I need but know what I don’t.

What you can’t (Fm)see

it feels so broke,

that you can’t (Fm)see

is how I’ll cope.

’Cause I’m (Ab)-

Want ev ’ry one a round to think that I’m al (Ab)right,

hope they as sume I’ve left the dark and found the (Bb)light.

Want them to think that I don’t cry my self to (Ab)sleep at night.

(Fm)Ooh,

(Fm)ooh.

(Bb)Yeah, I’m (Fm)dy

(Fm)Who knows what I’m (Ab69)think ing, what I’m (Eb)try ing to hide.

Yeah, I’m (Fm)dy

I’m (Cm)breath ing but I (Ab)can’t feel (Gm)life,

I’m (Fm)smil ing but I’m (Gm)dy’n’ in (Cm)side.

About “Dying Inside

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Dying Inside" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Ab, 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 "Dying Inside" by Gary Barlow in?
The backing track is in Ab at 76 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 "Dying Inside" 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 "Dying Inside"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Dying Inside", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Dying Inside" 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 "Dying Inside"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Dying Inside"?
"Dying Inside" was originally performed by Gary Barlow. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Gary Barlow are available?
Other accompaniments by Gary Barlow: "6th Avenue", "Face To Face", "Jump". 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 Ab, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Dying Inside" 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.
