Lyrics

It won’t be eas y, you’ll think it (F)strange

when I try to ex plain how I (G7)feel,

that I still need your love af ter (C)all that I’ve done.

You won’t be (Am)lieve me.

All you will see is a (D)girl you once knew, al (D)though she’s dressed up to the (G)nines

at (D7)six es and sev ens with (G)you.

I had to let it hap pen, I had to (F)change;

could n’t stay all my life down at (G7)heel,

look ing out of the win dow, stay ing (C)out of the sun.

So I chose (Am)free dom, they’re run ning a round try ing (D)ev ’ry thing new, but (D)noth ing im pressed me at (G)all.

I (D)nev er ex pect ed it (G)to.

(C)Don’t cry for me Ar gen ti na,

the (F)truth is I (C)nev er left you.

All through my (G)wild days, my mad ex (Am)ist ence, I kept my (C)prom ise.

Don’t keep your (F)dis tance.

And as to for it for tune and as for (F)fame,

could I nev er in vit ed them (G7)in,

though it seemed to the world dow, they were (C)all I de sired.

They are il (Am)lu sions, they’re not the so lu tions they (D)prom ised to be.

The (D)an swer was here all the (G)time.

I (D)love you and hope you love (G)me.

(C)Don’t cry for me Ar gen ti na,

the (F)truth is I (C)nev er left you.

All through my (G)wild days, my mad ex (Am)ist ence, I kept my (C)prom ise.

Don’t keep your (F)dis tance.

Have I said too much?

There’s noth ing more I can think of to (Em7)say to you.

But (Fma7)all you have to do is look at me to know that ev ’ry (C)word is true.

(F)dis tance.

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.

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.
