not wait ing on (G)fate.

I (Fmaj7)some how

got the feel (G)ing

that I (Fmaj7)o pened my eyes too (G)late.

I (C)saw where you came from, (Am7)called out your name, but there’s (Gm)no an swer.

We (C)lived on your door step, I (Am7)made you my wife, I don’t (Gm)need that.

Lines on my (G)face,

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.

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.
