Lyrics

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Don’t let them fool you

or e ven try to school you,

oh, no.

We’ve got a mind of our own.

So, go to (G)hell if what you’re (F#m)think in’ is n’t (Em)right.

They say

on ly, Love would nev er leave us a on ly, on ly the (F#m)dark test ness there must come out to (A)light.

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Could you be loved

and be loved?

The road of life is rock y and you may stum ble too.

So while you point your fin gers, some one else is judg in’ you.

Love Could your be, broth er be, man.

could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be loved?

Stay a live oh.

Could you be loved

and be loved?

Could you be loved

and be loved?

You (Bm)ain’t gon na miss your wa ter un til your well runs dry.

No mat ter how you treat him, the man will nev er be sat is fied.

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?

Could you be, could you be loved?

Say some thin’,

say some thin’.

Say some thin’,

say some thin’.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Could You Be Loved" 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 95 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.
