Lyrics

Feel ing my way through the dark ness,

guid ed by a beat ing (D)heart.

I can’t tell where the jour ney will (D)end,

but I (G)know where to (D)start.

They tell me (G)I’m too young to un der stand.

They say I’m (G)caught up in a dream.

Well, life will (G)pass me by if (D)I don’t o pen (D)up my eyes.

Well, that’s (G)fine by (D)me.

So wake me (Bm)up when (G)it’s all o ver.

(A)When I’m (Bm)wis er (G)and I’m old er.

(F#)All this (Bm)time I was (G)find ing my (D)self and I

did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

So (F#)wake me (Bm)up when (G)it’s all o ver.

(A)When I’m (Bm)wis er (G)and I’m (D)old er.

(F#)All this (Bm)time I was (G)find ing my (D)self and I

did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t know...

About “Wake Me Up

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Wake Me Up" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key D, 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 "Wake Me Up" by Avicii in?
The backing track is in D at 124 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 "Wake Me Up" 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 "Wake Me Up"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Wake Me Up", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Wake Me Up" 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 "Wake Me Up"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Wake Me Up"?
"Wake Me Up" was originally performed by Avicii. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Avicii are available?
Other accompaniments by Avicii: "Addicted To You", "Broken Arrows", "For A Better Day". 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 D, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Wake Me Up" 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.
