Lyrics

(D)Look ing out the door I see the rain fall up on the fu ner al (Em)mourn ers,

pa (D)rad ing in the wake of sad re la tions as the shoes fill up with (Em)wa ter.

May be I’m too (F#7)young

to (Bm)keep good love from going wrong,

but to (D)night

you’re

on my (Em)mind

so you’ll nev er know.

I’m (D)bro ken down and hun gry for your love with no way to (Em)feed it.

(D)Where are you to night?

You know how much I (Em)need it.

Too young to hold (F#7)on,

too (Bm)old to (A)break free and (G)run.

(Bm)Some times a man

gets (Em)car ried a way

when he (Bm)feels like he should be hav ing his fun.

And he’s (Bm)much too blind to see the dam age he’s (Em)done

’cause (C)some times a man must a wake to find that real ly he has no one.

So, I’ll wait for you

and I’ll burn.

(D)Oh, will I ev er see your sweet re (Gm6)turn?

(D)Oh, will I ev er learn?

(C)Oh,

(G)oh,

(A)lov er, you (D)should ’ve (D)come (Em)o ver

’cause it’s not too late.

(D)Lone ly is the room; the bed is made, the o pen win dow lets the (Em)rain in.

(D)Burn ing in the cor ner is the on ly one who dreams he had you (Em)with him.

My bod y (F#7)turns,

(Bm)yearns for a sleep that won’t ev er (G)come.

’Cause it’s not too (D)late.

(A)Lov er, you (D)should ’ve (D)come o ver.

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?

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.
