Lyrics

(E)Have n’t heard from you in a cou ple of months, but I’m (E)out right now and I’m all fucked up.

And you’re (E)call ing my phone, you’re all a lone, and (E)I’m sens ing some un der tone.

And (E)I’m right here with all my friends, but you’re (E)send ing me your new ad dress.

And I (E)know we’re done, I know we’re through, but (E)God, when I look at you, my brain goes, (E)“Ah.”

Can’t hear my (C#)thoughts.

(I can not hear my thoughts.) Like, blah, blah, (E)blah.

(Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.) Should prob ’bly, (C#)I should prob ’bly, prob ’bly not.

(C)I should prob ’bly, prob ’bly not.

(E)See ing you to night, it’s a (E)bad i dea, right?

(E)See ing you to night, it’s a (E)bad i dea, right?

(E)See ing you to night, it’s a (E)bad i dea, right?

(E)See ing you to night...

Fuck it, it’s fine.

(E)Yes, I know that he’s my ex, but (E)can’t two peo ple re con nect?

“I (E)on ly see him as a friend.” The (E)big gest lie I ev er said.

Oh (E)yes, I know that he’s my ex, but (E)can’t two peo ple re con nect?

I (E)on ly see him as a friend.

I just (E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

Now, I’m (E)get ting in the car, wreck ing all my plans.

I know I should stop...

but I can’t.

And I (E)told my friends I was a sleep, but I (E)nev er said where or in whose sheets.

And I (E)pull up to your place on the sec ond floor and you’re (E)stand ing, smil ing, at the door.

And I’m (E)sure I’ve seen much hot ter men, but I (E)real ly can’t re mem ber when.

My brain goes, (E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

Oh (E)yes, I know that he’s my ex.

(E)Can’t two peo ple re con nect?

The (E)big gest lie I ev er said.

I just (E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

(E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

(E)Thoughts.

(E)Blah.

About “Bad Idea Right?”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Bad Idea Right?"?
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 E. 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 — "Bad Idea Right?" 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 E, 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 130 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.
