Lyrics

I think you can (C)do much bet ter than me,

af ter all tures the lies that I made you be lieve.

And guilt kicks in r’y as I start to see

the (Dm)edge of the bed where your (C)night in gown used to be.

I told my (Bb)self I won’t miss you,

but I re mem bered

what it (Bb)feels like be side you.

I real ly miss your (Bb)hair in my face, and the way your (C)in no cence tastes,

and I (Bb)think you should know this: you de serve much bet ter than (Dm)me.

I’m look ing can (C)through your old box of notes,

found the pic tures I took that you were look ing for.

If there’s one mem r’y I don’t want to lose,

that (Dm)time at the mall you and (C)night in the dress ing room.

I told my (Bb)self I won’t miss you,

but I re mem bered

what it (Bb)feels like be side you.

I real ly miss your (Bb)hair in my face, and the way your (C)in no cence tastes,

and I (Bb)think you should know this: you de serve much bet ter than (Dm)me.

this: you de serve much bet ter than (Gm9)me.

The bed I’m ly ing in is get ting cold er, wish I nev er would have said it’s o ver, and I can’t pre tend

I won’t think a bout you when I’m old er, ’cause we nev er real ly had our clo sure, this can’t be the end.

(A)Yeah.

I real ly miss your (Bb)hair in my face, and the way your (C)in no cence tastes

and I (Bb)think you should know this: you de serve much bet ter than (Dm)me.

I real ly miss your (Bb)hair in my face and the way your (C)in no cence tastes

and I (Bb)think you should know this: you de serve much bet ter than (Dm)me.

You de serve much bet ter than (Dm)me.

You de serve much bet ter than (Dm)me.

You de serve much bet ter than (Dm)me.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Better Than Me" 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 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.
