You’re a world (C#m7)a (B)way,

some where (E)in the (A)crowd,

in a for (C#m7)eign (B)place.

Are you (E)hap py (A)now?

There’s noth ing left (C#m7)to (B)say,

so I (E)shut my (A)mouth.

So, won’t you tell (C#m7)me, (B)babe:

are you (E)hap py (A)now?

(A)You’re the on (C#m7)ly one (B)who can up and run, leave me just as (E)emp ty as the day (A)you came.

You hold all (C#m7)the cards, (B)all the bro ken hearts strung o ver your (E)shoul der till it’s all (A)in vain.

And on ly you know the (C#m7)strength of (B)your teeth, the wash in the (E)weight of your pock ets (A)so deep,

and lone ly.

You’re a world (C#m7)a (B)way,

There’s noth ing left (C#m7)to (B)say,

so I (E)shut my (A)mouth.

So, won’t you tell (C#m7)me, (B)babe:

are you (E)hap py (A)now?

Are you (E)hap py (A)now?

(A)(You’re the on ly one who can.)

In the palm of (C#m7)your hands (B)you can make me dance, spin me ’round in (E)cir cles till I’m wrapped (A)in string.

You keep on talk (C#m7)ing sweet (B)till your fin gers bleed, but don’t you (E)dare ask me how (A7)I’ve been.

Now on ly (A)you know the (C#m7)strength of (B)your teeth, the wash in the (E)weight of your pock ets (A)so deep,

About “Happy Now”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Happy Now"?
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 E. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Happy Now" by Zedd & Elley Duhé played in?
Happy Now is arranged in the key of E on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Happy Now"?
The arrangement plays at 80 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Happy Now" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Happy Now"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Happy Now"?
"Happy Now" was originally performed by Zedd & Elley Duhé. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
What chords are used in "Happy Now"?
This arrangement uses 6 chords: A, A7, Amaj7, B, C#m7, E.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Happy Now" 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 E, 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 80 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.
