Lyrics

Your day breaks, your mind aches, you find that (C)all her words of (Fmaj7)kind ness lin ger (Bb6)on when she no (C)long er needs you.

She wakes up, she makes up, she takes her (C)time and does n’t (Fmaj7)feel she has to (Bb6)hur ry; she no (C)long er needs you.

And in her (Dm)eyes

you are (A7)noth ing,

no sign of love be hind (A)the (Dm)tears

cried for (A7)no one;

a love that should have last (A)ed (Dm)years.

You want her,

you need her,

and yet you (C)don’t be lieve her (Fmaj7)when she says her (Bb6)love is dead; you (C)think she needs you.

You stay home,

she goes out,

she says that (C)long a go she (Fmaj7)knew some one but (Bb6)now he’s gone; she (C)does n’t need him.

Your day breaks,

your mind aches,

there will be (C)times when all the (Fmaj7)things she said will (Bb6)fill your head; you (C)won’t for get her.

And in her (Dm)eyes you are (A7)noth ing,

no sign of love be hind (A)the (Dm)tears cried for (A7)no one;

a love that should have last (A)ed (Dm)years.

About “For No One”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "For No One"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "For No One" by The Beatles played in?
For No One is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "For No One"?
The arrangement plays at 100 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "For No One" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "For No One"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "For No One"?
"For No One" was originally performed by The Beatles. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.

Try "DAY TRIPPER", "PLEASE MR. POSTMAN", "SHE'S LEAVING HOME". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "For No One" 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 C, 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 100 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.
