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 — Classic Piano Sheet Music

6 people have learned this song

Read "All We Are" by OneRepublic in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of D. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 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.

About “All We Are

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "All We Are"?
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 D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "All We Are" 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 D, 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 80 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.
