Lyrics

I think I’ve (G)had e nough,

I might get a lit tle drunk.

I say what’s (G)on my mind,

I (A5)might do a (D)lit tle time.

Cause all of (G)my kind ness

is ta ken for weak ness.

Now I’m (D)four, five se conds from wild in’ and we got (D)three more days ’til Fri day.

I’m just try’n a make it back home by (G)Mon day morn in’ I swear.

I wish some bod y would tell me, (A5)ooh, that’s all I want.

Woke up an (G)op ti mist.

Sun was shin ing, I’m (G)pos i tive.

Then I heard you was (G)talk in’ trash,

hold me back I’m (G)’bout to spaz.

Yeah ’bout (D)four, five sec onds from wild in’ and we got (D)three more days ’til Fri day.

I’m try’n a make it back home by (G)Mon day morn in’ I swear.

I wish some bod y would tell me, (A5)ooh, that’s all I want.

And I know that you’re (F#m)up to night think in’ (Em)how could I be so self ish.

But you (F#m)called ’bout a (Em)thous and (Bm)times won der ing where I been.

But I (F#m)just can’t a (Em)pol o (Bm)gise, I (Asus4)hope you can un der stand.

If I go (G)to jail to night,

Now I’m (D)four, five sec onds from wild in’ and we got (D)three more days ’til Fri day.

I’m try’n a make it back home by Mon day morn in’ I swear.

I wish some bod y would tell me, (A5)ooh, that’s all I want.

(D)four, five sec onds from wild in’ and we got (D)three more days ’til Fri day.

I’m try’n a make it back home by Mon day morn in’ I swear.

About “Four Five Seconds”

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 D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Four Five Seconds" by Rihanna played in?
Four Five Seconds is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

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