Lyrics

I wish I were pret ty.

I wish I were brave.

If I owned this cit y,

then I’d make it be have.

And if I were fear less,

then I’d speak my truth,

and the world would hear this.

That’s what I it be have.

And if I wish

I’d do, yeah,

yeah,

yeah,

yeah.

If my hands could hold them, you’d see.

I’d take all these se crets in me and I’d move and mold them to be some thing (Bb)I’d set free.

I want to (Dm)dark en in the skies,

o pen the (Bb)flood gates up.

I wan na (F)change my mind.

I want to (C)be e nough.

I want the (Dm)wa ter in my eyes.

I want to (Bb)cry un til the end of time.

I want to (F)let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (C)down

to night.

I hold on to ry.

(So tight.) It’s (C)safe in here right next to my heart.

Now who shouts at the top of her voice?

Let me go.

Let me out.

This is not my choice.

And I (F)al ways felt it be fore that the world was filled with much more than the drown ing soul I’ve learned to be.

I just need the rain to re mind me.

I want to (C)down.

I want to (F)let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down.

(C)down

to night.

About “Let The Rain”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Let The Rain"?
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 Bb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Let The Rain" by Sara Bareilles played in?
Let The Rain is arranged in the key of Bb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Let The Rain"?
The arrangement plays at 140 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.

This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Let The Rain"?

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Let The Rain" 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 140 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.
