And may be you’ll go a way and nev er call,

Oh, lit tle girl, in (G)that case I don’t want no part.

I do be lieve that (G)that would on ly break my heart.

Oh, but if you feel like lov in’ me, (A)if you got the (G)no tion,

I sec ond that e (D)mo tion.

So if you feel like giv ing me a (A)life time of de (G)vo tion,

I sec ond that e (D)mo tion.

May be you think that love will tie you down

and you don’t have the time to hang a round.

Or may be you think that love will make us fools,

and and (G)so it makes you wise to break the rules.

Oh, lit tle girl, in (G)that case I don’t want no part.

I do be lieve that (G)that would on ly break my heart.

Oh, but if you feel like lov in’ me, (A)if you got the (G)no tion,

I sec ond that e (D)mo tion.

So if you feel like giv ing me a (A)life time of de (G)vo tion,

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?

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.
