Lyrics

Love on the rocks

ain’t no sur prise.

Pour me a drink, and I’ll (Em7)tell you some lies.

Got noth in’ to lose, so you (B7)just sing the blues

all the (E)time.

Gave you my heart,

gave you my soul.

You left me a lone here with (Em7)noth ing to hold.

Yes ter day’s gone.

Now all I want is a (E)smile.

First, they say they want you,

how they real ly need you.

Sud den ly, you find you’re out there, walk ing in a storm.

When they know they have you, then they real ly (A7)have you.

(D6)Noth ing you can do or say.

You’ve (A)got to leave, just get a way.

We all know the (E)song.

You need what you need,

you can say what you want.

Not much you can do (G)when the (Em7)feel ing is gone.

May be (F)blue skies a bove,

but it’s (B7)cold

when your love’s on the (E)rocks.

Love on the rocks

ain’t no sur prise.

Pour me a drink, and I’ll (Em7)tell you some lies.

Yes ter day’s gone,

and now all I want is a (E)smile.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Love On The Rocks" 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 A, 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 90 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.
