Lyrics

I like to see you,

but then a gain, it,

that does n’t (A7)mean you mean that (Dm)much to me.

So if I call you,

don’t make a fuss,

don’t tell your (A7)friends a bout the (Dm)two of us.

I’m not in love,

no, (C)no!

It’s be (F)cause

I’m not in love, you,

so don’t for get it,

it’s just a (A7)sil ly phase I’m (Dm)go ing through.

And just be cause you,

I call you up,

don’t get me (A7)wrong, don’t think you’ve (Dm)got it made.

I’m not in love,

no, (C)no!

It’s be (F)cause

(F)cause.

(F6/9)Be quiet, big boys don’t cry, big boys don’t cry, big boys don’t cry, big boys don’t cry, big boys don’t cry, big boys don’t cry,

I keep your pic ture

up on the wall,

it hides a (A7)nas ty stain that’s (Dm)ly ing there.

So don’t you ask me

to give it back.

I know you know it (A7)does n’t mean that (Dm)much to me.

I’m not in love,

no, (C9)no!

It’s be (F)cause.

(Bbm7)Ooh,

you’ll (Eb7)wait a long time for (Ab)me.

(Bbm7)Ooh,

you’ll (Eb7)wait a long time

(Bbm7)Ooh,

you’ll (Eb7)wait a long time for (Ab)me.

(Bbm7)Ooh,

you’ll (Eb7)wait a long time

I’m not in love,

I’m not in love.

I'm Not In Love — Classic Piano Sheet Music

19 people have learned this song

Read "I'm Not In Love" by 10Cc in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of Bb. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 132 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your extended chord vocabulary — you'll navigate seventeen different shapes including Fmaj9, C9, and Fm7, which means your right hand needs to stay relaxed and efficient as it shifts between dense voicings.

Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern throughout much of the piece, so the real challenge is keeping that anchor steady while your right hand moves through chromatic transitions like Bb to Ab or Dm to A7.

Start hands-separate at around 90 BPM and focus on memorizing the chordal geography before you layer hands together.

The trickiest stumbling point is usually the shift into those dominant seventh shapes — Eb7, C7, Bbdom — so loop those bars until the fingering feels automatic.

Once you bring it up to 132 BPM, use sustained pedal to capture the song's dreamy, melancholic wash.

This is the piece that'll make ninth chords feel like home under your fingers.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "I'm Not In Love" 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 Bb, 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 132 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.
