Lyrics

(F)I can hear you down stairs (Bbmaj7)cry ing on the phone

(F)tell ing some one that I’m here but you (Bbmaj7)still feel all a lone.

(F)May be we were too young.

Good bye, I’ve got ta go.

I can (F)hear the ba by wak ing up, got to (Bbmaj7)get back to the life I know.

I should have nev er be lieved you.

May be I should just leave you.

May be I’m not but you’re all I’ve got left to be lieve in.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

And I know that it’s been hard and it’s been a long time com ing.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

(F)No one thought I was good e nough for you ex cept for you.

Don’t let them be right af ter all that we’ve been through.

(Gm7)Some where o ver that rain bow there’s a place for me.

A place with you.

May be I’m not but you’re all I’ve got left to be lieve in.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

And I know that it’s been hard and it’s been a long time com ing.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

In ev ’ry frame up on our wall (Bb)lies a face that’s seen it all.

Ups and downs and then more downs.

We helped each oth er off of the ground.

(Gm)No one knows what we’ve been through.

(Bb)Mak in’ it ain’t mak in’ it (C)with out you.

May be I’m not but you’re all I’ve got (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

I’m a (Dm7)bout to come a live.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "I'm About To Come Alive" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML.

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 100 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.
