Lyrics

Had a nice lit tle life,

a lit tle boat, a lit tle beach, a lit tle rou tine I (Dsus)like.

A the blue o cean (G6)view,

free to go with the flow an y where that I want ed to.

But But the mo ment you set foot on my shore, the that’s when I (G)knew.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

You can’t have it all all by your self.

Some thin’s al ways miss in’ till you share it with some one else.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

Till a you sailed tle me,

a thought that I a had it good, a as good as it could (Dsus)be.

From the back of my (G6)deck,

caught a fish, caught a breeze and a thou sand red sun ed sets.

But sit tin’ here ment with you, girl, I just saw

the best when one (G)yet.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

You can’t have it all all by your self.

Some thin’s al ways miss in’ till you share it with some one else.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well.

(Am)My days are (Em)bright er, my sky a deep er blue.

(Am)My nights are

er

(A)when I’m with (Em9)you.

(G)liv in’,

I thought I was (Em7)liv in’.

There’s a dif f’rence in (G)liv in’ and liv in’ well,

liv in’ well.

(Em)I’m (D)liv in’ well.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Living And Living Well" 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 D, 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.
