Lyrics

I can’t be lieve it’s o ver;

I (Em)watched the whole thing fall,

and I (Gm)nev er saw the writ ing that was on the wall.

(A7)If I on ly knew

the days were slip ping past,

that the (A5)good things (A5)nev er last,

that (Dm)you were (Dm)cry (G)in’.

Sum mer turned to win ter, and the (Em)snow, it turned to rain;

then the (Gm)rain turned in to tears up on your face.

I (A7)hard ly rec og nize

the girl you are to day; and God, I hope it’s not too late.

Mm, it’s not too late.

’Cause (Am7)you are (C6)not a lone;

I’m al ways there with you,

and we’ll get (G)lost to geth er, till the (Em)light comes pour ing through.

’Cause when you (Am)feel like (Am)you’re done

and the dark ness has won,

babe, you’re not lost.

When your (Am)world’s crash ing down

and you can’t bear the thought,

I said, babe, you’re not lost.

Life can show no mer cy; it can (Em)tear your soul a part.

It can (Gm)make you feel like you’ve gone cra zy, but you’re not.

Though (A7)things have seemed to change,

there’s one thing that’s still the same: in my heart you have re mained,

and we can fly,

fly,

fly

a

way.

’Cause (Am)you are (C)not a lone;

and you can’t bear to crawl,

I said, ba by, you’re not lost.

I said, (Am7)ba by, you’re not lost.

I said, (Am7)ba by, you’re not (C)lost.

I said, (Am7)ba by, you’re not (C)lost.

Lost — Classic Piano Sheet Music

68 people have learned this song

Read "Lost" by Michael Buble in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 68 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a wonderful workout for navigating chord extensions and suspensions at a relaxed 68 BPM — don't let that slow tempo fool you into coasting, because you're handling 17 distinct chords in the key of C, many of them close relatives like Am, Am7, Asus4, and A7.

Your left hand plays block bass, so keep it steady and grounded while your right hand voices those subtle chord shifts.

Start hands-separate and really drill the G-to-Gsus4-to-G7 and Am-to-Asus4 transitions until they feel automatic — those suspended fourths resolving are what give the song its aching, sad pull.

Use the sustain pedal lightly, lifting cleanly on each chord change so nothing muddies together.

Loop any four-bar phrase where you stumble before playing through.

This is the piece that'll make seventh chords and sus voicings feel like second nature to you.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Lost" 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 C, 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 68 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.
