Lyrics

(CN.C.)I don’t know what I want,

so don’t ask me ’cause I’m still tryin’ to fig ure it out.

Don’t know what’s down this road,

I’m just walk in’, tryin’ to see through the rain com in’ down.

Ev en though I’m not the on ly one who feels the way I do,

I’m a lone,

on my own,

and that’s all

I know.

I’ll be strong,

I’ll be wrong,

oh, but life goes on.

Oh, I’m just a (Dm7)girl

(Bb)tryin’ to find a (F)place in this world.

Got the ra di o on,

my old blue jeans, and I’m wear in’ my heart on my sleeve.

Feel in’ luck y to day,

got just sun shine.

Could you tell me what more do I need?

And to mor row’s just a mys ter y, oh, yeah, but that’s O K.

I’m a lone,

on my own,

and that’s all

I know.

I’ll be strong,

I’ll be wrong,

oh, but life goes on.

Oh, I’m just a (Dm7)girl

(Bb)tryin’ to find a (F)place in this world.

Got the ra di o on, world.

May be I’m just a girl on a mis sion,

but I’m read y to fly.

I’m a lone,

on my own,

and that’s all

I know.

I’ll be strong,

I’ll be wrong,

oh, but life goes on.

Oh, I’m a (Am)lone,

on my own,

and that’s all

I know.

Oh, I’m just a (Dm7)girl

(Bb)tryin’ to find a (F)place in this world.

Oh, I’m just a (C)girl.

Oh, I’m just a girl,

oh, oh.

Oh, I’m just a (C)girl.

About “A Place In This World”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "A Place In This World"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "A Place In This World" by Taylor Swift played in?
A Place In This World is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "A Place In This World"?
The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "A Place In This World" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "A Place In This World"?

Try "GETAWAY CAR", "THE LAST TIME", "ENCHANTED". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "A Place In This World" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 120 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
