(Oh, oh, (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.) oh, oh.) Keep drink ing cof fee, stare (Ebm)me down a cross the ta ble while I look out (Gbsus2)side.

So man y things I’d say (Ebm)if on ly I were a ble, (Bbm)but I just keep qui et and count (Gbsus2)the cars that (Absus4)pass (Ab)by.

You’ve got o pin ions, man; we’re all en ti tled to (Bbm)’em, but I nev er (Gbsus2)asked.

So let me (Db)thank you for your time, and (Ebm)try not to waste an y more of mine; get out of here (Gbsus2)fast.

I hate to (Ebm7)break it to you, babe,

but I’m not drown ing.

There’s (Absus4)no one here to (Ab)save.

(Bbm)Who cares if you (Gbsus2)dis a gree?

You are (Db)not me.

Who made you (Absus4)King of An y thing?

(Ab)So (Bbm)you dare tell me (Gbsus2)who to be?

Who died

and made you (Absus4)King of An y thing?

Oh.

You sound so in no cent, all full of good in tent; swear you know (Gbsus2)best.

But you ex pect me to jump up on board with you (Bbm)and ride off in to your (Gbsus2)de lu sion al (Absus4)sun (Ab)set.

I’m not the one who’s lost with no di rec tion, oh, but you’ll nev er (Gbsus2)see.

(Ab)You’re so (Db)bus y mak ing maps with (Ebm)my name on them in all caps.

You got the talk ing down, just not the (Absus4)lis ten (Ab)ing.

of An y thing?

All my life I’ve tried

to make (Bbm)ev ’ry bod y hap py while I

just hurt

and hide,

wait ing for some one to (Db)tell me it’s (Gb5)my turn to de cide.

(Oh, oh, (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.) oh, oh.) (Bbm)Who cares if you (Gbsus2)dis a gree?

You are (Db)not me.

Who made you (Absus4)King of An y thing?

(Ab)So (Bbm)you dare tell me (Gbsus2)who to be?

Who (Db)died

and made you (Absus4)King of An y thing?

(Ab)Oh, (Bbm)who cares if you (Gbsus2)dis a gree?

You are (Db)not me.

Who made you (Absus4)King of An y thing?

(Ab)So (Bbm)you dare tell me (Gbsus2)who to be?

Who died

and made you (Absus4)King of An y thing.

Let me hold your crown, (Bbm)babe.

(Ab)Oh, oh, (Db)ooh,

ah.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "King Of Anything" 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 Gb, 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 120 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.
