Lyrics

Cit y of stars,

are you shin ing just for (Dm)me?

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

there’s so much that I can’t (F)see.

Who (Gm)knows?

I felt it from the first em (Am)brace I shared with (Adim)you

that (Gm)now our (A7)dreams may fi n’lly come (Dm)true.

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

just one thing ev ’ry bod y (Dm)wants,

(Gm)there in the bars

and through the smoke screen of the (F)crowd ed res tau rants:

it’s (Gm)love.

Yes, all we’re look ing for is (Am)love from some one (Adim)else.

A (Gm)rush, a glance, a (A)touch, a dance.

A (Bb)look in some bod y’s eyes to light up the skies, to o pen the world and send it reel ing.

A (Bb)voice that says, “I’ll be here, and you’ll be al right.”

(Bb)I don’t care if I know just where I will go, ’cause all that I need’s this cra zy feel ing, a (Bb)rat tat tat on my heart...

Think I want it to (Dm)stay.

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

are you shin ing just for (F)me?

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

you nev er shined so bright (Dm7)ly.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "City Of Stars (From La La Land)" 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 Bb, 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 104 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.
