Lyrics

“Good bye.” Should be say ing that to you by now, shouldn’t I?

Lay ing down a law that I live by.

Well, may be next time.

I’ve got a thick tongue

brim ming with the words that go un sung.

I sim mer then I burn for a some one,

the wrong one.

And I tell my self to let the sto ry end,

oh,

that my heart will rest in some one else ’s hand.

But my “why not me” phi los o phy be gan.

And I said… Ooh, how’m I gon na get o ver you?

I’ll be all right,

just not to night,

but some day.

Oh, I wish you’d want me to stay.

I’ll be all right,

just not to night,

but some day.

“May be.” It’s a vi cious lit tle word that can slay me,

keep me where I’m hurt ing.

You make me

(C)hang from your hands.

But no more; I won’t beg to buy a shot at your back door.

If I’m ach ing at the thought of you, what for?

That’s not (Bbsus2)me an y more.

And I’m not the girl that I in tend to be.

But I dare you, dar lin’; just you wait and see.

But this time not for you, but just for me.

I said… but some day.

Say it’s com ing soon,

some day with out you.

All I can do

is (Ab)get me past the ghost of you.

Wave good bye to me; I won’t say I’m sor ry.

I’ll be all right

(Ab)once I find the oth er side of some day.

Oh,

oh,

woh,

oh,

oh,

oh, woh,

ooh, woh.

(Woh,

oh.) Woh,

oh.

(Woh,

oh.) Woh.

(Woh.)

Ah…

Ooh, how’m I gon na get o ver you?

I’ll be all right,

just not to night,

but some day.

Oh, I wish you’d want me to stay.

I’ll be all right,

just not to night,

but some

day.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Gonna Get Over You" 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 140 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.
