Lyrics

I know I can’t take one more step towards you,

’cause all that’s wait ing is re gret.

And don’t you know I’m not your ghost an y more;

you lost the love I loved the (Ab)most.

I learned to (Ab)live (Cm)half a (Bb)live,

and now you (Ab)want me one more time.

And who do you think you are,

run ning ’round leav ing (Cm)scars, col lect ing your jar of hearts, and (Abm)tear ing love a part?

You’re gon na catch a cold from the ice in side your (Cm)soul.

So don’t come back for (Ab)me.

(Abm)Who do you think you are?

I hear you’re ask ing all a round

if I am an y where to be found.

But I have grown too (Eb)strong

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

I’ve learned to (Ab)live

(Cm)half a (Bb)live,

and now you (Ab)want me one more time.

(Cm)It took so (G)long just to (Cm)feel al (F)right, re (Cm)mem ber how to (G)put back the (Cm)light in my (F)eyes.

I (Cm)wish I had (G)missed the first (Cm)time that we (F)kissed ’cause (Cm)you broke (G)all your (Cm)prom is (F)es.

And (Ab)now you’re back,

you don’t get to (G)get me back.

And who do you think you are,

run ning ’round leav ing (Cm)scars, col lect ing your jar of hearts,

and (Abm)tear ing love a part?

You’re gon na catch a cold from the ice in side your (Cm)soul.

So don’t come back for (Ab)me,

(Abm)don’t come back at (Eb)all.

And who do you think you’re are,

run ning ’round leav ing (Cm)scars, col lect ing your jar of hearts,

(Abm)tear ing love a part?

You’re gon na catch a cold from the ice in side your (Cm)soul.

Don’t come back for (Ab)me,

don’t come back at (Eb)all.

(Ab)Who do you think you are?

(Ab)Who do you think you are?

(Ab)Who do you think you 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 Ab. 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 Ab 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 Ab, 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 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.
