Lyrics

For all the times I (F)tried

for (C)this,

and (G)ev ’ry chance at (Am)you

I

missed:

I’ve been (Em)known to go my (F)way,

but I

con (C)fess,

it (G)made me miss you more.

I drew my line a (F)cross

the (C)sand,

and (G)set my flag in (Am)no

man’s

land.

But (Em)here I am, the (F)one

man

band

with a (G)song that’s meant for two.

And there is a light

from a high

er win dow

shin ing down on you to night;

and the mu sic floats on the breeze,

bring ing an eas

i er

time.

And (C)all of our cards

are on

the ta ble;

tell me what you want to do.

Just don’t tell (F)me

that it’s too late for me

to love you.

How per fect we were (F)meant

to (C)be,

our (G)warm and si lent (Am)sym

me

try.

It’s (Em)times like these when (F)all,

all we need

is to be re mind ed.

Oh, and I have flown (F)a thou sand miles to (C)emp ty rooms and crowd ed aisles.

And (Am)we went from ca the dral bells to (Gsus)show and tell and (Em)wish you wells And I,

I still (F)look at you,

and I am blind ed,

I am blind ed, be cause (C)there is a light

from a high

er win dow

shin ing down on us to night.

And the mu sic floats on the breeze

from an eas

i er time.

And (C)all of our cards

are on

the ta ble;

tell me what you want to do.

Just don’t tell (F)me

that it’s too late,

don’t tell (F)me

that it’s too late now, just don’t tell (F)me

that it’s too late for me

to love you.

About “Higher Window

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Higher Window"?
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 "Higher Window" by Josh Groban played in?

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Higher Window" 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 72 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.
