Lyrics

I can (C#m7)tell

your eyes

you’ve (C#m7)prob ’ly been cry ing for (B)ev er.

And the (C#m7)stars

the sky

mean (C#m7)no thing to you, they’re a (B)mir ror.

I don’t wan na

a bout it,

how you (B)broke

heart.

I stay just a (F#)lit tle bit long er,

I stay, won’t you (F#)lis ten

to my (C#m7)heart,

whoa,

my heart?

If I (C#m7)stand all a lone, will the (C#m7)sha dow hide the col ours of my (B)heart; blue for the tears, black for the night’s fears.

The (C#m7)stars in the sky don’t mean (C#m7)no thing to you they’re a (B)mir ror.

(C#m7)heart,

whoa,

my (B)heart?

What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of C#, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "I Don't Want To Talk About It" 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.
