Lyrics

I tried to paint you a pic ture; the col ors were all wrong.

I Black and white did n’t fit you, and all a long

you were shad ed with pa tience, and strokes of ev ’ry thing that I need just (Dsus2)to make it.

(D)But I can see that Lord knows, I’ve failed you time and a gain, but you and me are al (G)right.

We won’t say our good byes; you know it’s (A7)bet ter that way.

We won’t break we won’t die; it’s just a (A7)mo ment of change.

All we are, all we are is ev ’ry (A7)thing that’s right.

All we need, all we need, a lov er’s (A7)al i bi.

I walked a min ute in your shoes; they nev er would have fit.

I fig ured there’s noth ing to lose; I need to get

some per spec tive on these words be fore I write them down.

You’re an is land, (Dsus2)and my ship (D)has run a ground.

that Lord knows, I’ll fail you time and a gain, but you and me are al (G)right.

We won’t say our good byes; you know it’s (A7)bet ter that way.

We won’t break we won’t die; it’s just a (A7)mo ment of change.

All we are, all we are is ev ’ry (A7)thing that’s right.

All we need, all we need, a lov er’s (A7)al i bi.

And (C)ev ’ry sin gle day that I can breathe, (A)you change my phi los o phy.

I’m (F)nev er gon na let you pass me (D)by.

So don’t say your good byes; you know it’s (A7)bet ter that way.

We won’t break, we won’t die; it’s just a (A7)mo ment of change, yeah,

ooh.

So don’t say your good byes; you know it’s (A7)bet ter that way.

We won’t break we won’t die; it’s just a (A7)mo ment of change.

All we are, all we are is ev ’ry (A7)thing that’s right.

All we need, all we need, a lov er’s (A7)al i bi.

(D)Yeah,

ooh,

So don’t say your good byes; you know it’s (A7)bet ter that way.

We won’t break we won’t die; it’s just a (A7)mo ment of change.

All We Are — Visual Piano Sheet Music

6 people have learned this song

"All We Are" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of D, 80 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for keeping a steady pedal bass in your left hand while your right hand navigates a surprisingly colorful chord set.

At 80 BPM you have breathing room, but don't let that fool you — the jumps between D-family voicings (D, Dsus2, Dpow) demand precise, small finger adjustments, and the borrowed C and F chords will pull you out of your D-major comfort zone without warning.

Start hands-separate: lock in that left-hand pedal pattern until it feels automatic, then layer the right hand on top.

When you combine, loop the sections around Bm7 and A7 slowly — those transitions tend to trip people up because the chord shapes are wider than the basic triads nearby.

Once it clicks, bump the tempo back to full speed.

This is the piece that will make sus2 voicings and pedal bass feel like second nature to you.
