Lyrics

There The drought was the ver y worst,

ah, ah,

when the flow ers that we’d grown to geth er died of thirst.

It was months and months of back and forth.

Ah, ah.

You’re still all o ver me like a wine stained dress I can’t wear an y more.

The Hung my head as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a per fect storm.

The (E)rain came (B7)pour ing down; when I was drown ing, that’s when I could fi nal ly breathe.

And by (B7)morn ing, (C#m)gone was an y trace of you.

I think I am fi nal ly clean.

There was noth ing left to do; worst,

ah, ah,

when the but flies turned to dust, they cov ered my whole room.

So I punched a hole of in the roof,

ah, ah.

I let the flood car ry a a way all my pic can’t tures of y you.

The wa ter filled my I lungs; I screamed so the loud, but no one a heard a thing.

The (E)rain came (B7)pour ing down; when I was drown ing, that’s when I could fi nal ly breathe.

And by (B7)morn ing, (C#m)gone was an y trace of you.

I think I am fi nal ly clean.

think I am fi nal ly clean.

I think I am fi nal ly clean.

(A5)Ah.

Said, I think I am fi nal ly clean.

(A5)Ah.

(E5)Ten months so ber, I must ad mit, just be cause you’re clean don’t mean you don’t miss it.

Ten months old er; I won’t give in.

(A5)Now that I’m clean, I’m nev er gon na risk it.

The drought was the ver y worst,

ah, ah,

when the flow ers that we’d grown to geth er died of thirst.

The (E)rain came (B7)pour ing down; when I was drown ing, that’s when I could fi nal ly breathe.

And by (B7)morn ing, (C#m)gone was an y trace of you.

I think I am fi n’lly clean.

The (E)rain came (B7)pour ing down; when I was drown ing, that’s when I could fi nal ly breathe.

And by (B7)morn ing, (C#m)gone was an y trace of you.

I think I am fi n’lly clean.

The think I am fi nal ly clean.

Fi nal ly clean.

Think I’m fi nal ly clean.

Ah, ah.

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