Lyrics

I know I can’t take one more (C)step

toward you,

’cause all that’s wait ing is re (Dm)gret.

And don’t you know I’m not your (C)ghost

an y more,

you lost the love I love the (F)most.

I learned to live

(Am)half

a (G)live,

and now you (F)want me one more

time.

And who do you think you (G)are,

run ning ’round leav ing (Am)scars,

col lect ing your jar of (Fm)hearts

and tear ing love a (C)part?

You’re gon na catch a (G)cold

from the ice in side your (Am)soul.

So don’t come back for (F)me.

(Fm)Who do you think you (C)are?

I hear you’re ask ing all a round

if I am an y where to be (Dm)found,

but I have grown too (C)strong

to ev er fall back in your (F)arms.

(C)are?

And (Am)it took so (E)long just to (C)feel al (D7)right,

re (Am)mem ber how to (E)put back the (C)light in my (D7)eyes.

I (Am)wish I had (E)missed the first (C)time that we (D7)kissed

’cause (Am)you broke (E)all your (C)prom is (D7)es.

And (F)now you’re back,

you don’t get to (E)get me

back.

And who do you think you (G)are,

run ning ’round leav ing (Am)scars,

col lect ing your jar of (Fm)hearts

and tear ing love a (C)part?

You’re gon na catch a (G)cold

from the ice in side your (Am)soul.

So don’t come back for (Fm)me,

don’t come back at (C)all.

And who do you think you (G)are,

run ning ’round leav ing (Am)scars,

col lect ing your jar of (F)hearts,

(Fm)tear ing love a (C)part?

You’re gon na catch a (G)cold

from the ice in side your (Am)soul.

Don’t come back for (F)me,

(Fm)don’t come back at (C)all.

(Fdim)Who do you think you (C)are?

(Fdim)Who do you think you (C)are?

(Fdim)Who do you think you (C)are?

About “Jar Of Hearts”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Jar Of Hearts"?
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 "Jar Of Hearts" by Christina Perri played in?
Jar Of Hearts is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Jar Of Hearts" 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 68 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.
