I Just Can't Stop Loving You — Classic Piano Sheet Music

5 people have learned this song

Read "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" by Michael Jackson in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 104 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement will stretch your chord vocabulary in the best way — you're dealing with nearly thirty chords, many of them extended voicings like Ebmaj9, Fmaj9, and Gm9, so get comfortable placing your fingers on those jazzy shapes before you try to play at tempo.

Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, which keeps things grounded, but the real challenge is your right hand navigating quick transitions between flat-key clusters — moving from Fm7 to Gbmaj9 to Abm7, for example, demands that you visualize the next shape while still holding the current one.

Start hands-separate at around 70 BPM, and loop any four-bar phrase where the chord density spikes.

Watch for the dominant-to-suspended moves like Gdom to Csus4; rushing those kills the romantic feel.

Use sustain pedal generously but change it with each new bass note to avoid mud.

This is the piece that will make extended chords feel like home under your hands.
