Lyrics

I miss (B)the taste of (C#m)the sweet it life;

I miss the map to a bet ter tion.

I’m search (B)ing for a song to (CN.C.)night;

I’m chang (B)ing all of (C#m)the sta tions.

I like (B)to think that (C#m)we had it all.

We drew a map to a bet ter place.

But on (B)that road I cir cle (CN.C.)for,

I’m chang (B)ing all of (C#m)the sta tions.

oh, ba (B)by, why did (C#m)you run a way?

I was there for you in your dark est times.

I was there for you in your dark est night.

But I (CN.C.)won der (A)where we (B)are when I was at my worst, down on my (A)knees,

and you said you had my back?

So I won der (A)where we (B)are that all the roads you took came back to (A)me?

(C#m)So I’m fol low ing the map that leads to (A)you, (B)the map that (C#m)leads to you.

Ain’t noth ing I can (A)do.

(B)The map that (C#m)leads to you.

Fol low ing, fol low ing, fol low ing to (A)you.

(B)The map that (C#m)leads to you.

Ain’t noth ing I can (A)do.

(B)The map that (C#m)leads to you.

Fol low (CN.C.)ing, fol low ing, fol low ing.

I hear (B)your voice in (C#m)my sleep at night.

How to (B)re sist (C#m)temp ta tion?

’Cause on (B)ly stran gers (C#m)come o ver me, and now I (A)can’t (B)get o ver you.

No, I just (A)can’t (B)get o ver you.

I was there (C#m)you.

Oh oh oh.

Ah.

Oh oh oh.

Ah.

Yeah yeah yeah.

Ah.

Ah ah, mm.

Ah.

Oh, I was there for you all in your dark est time.

Oh, I was there for you all in your dark est night.

Oh, I was there for you all in your dark est time.

Oh, I was there for you all in your dark est night.

Oh, I was dark est night.

But I won der (A)where we (B)are when I was at my worst, down on my (A)knees,

and you said you had my back?

So I won der (A)where we (B)are that all the roads you took came back to (A)me?

(C#m)So I’m fol low ing the map that leads to (A)you, (B)the map that (C#m)leads to you.

Ain’t noth ing I can (A)do.

(B)The map that (C#m)leads to you.

Fol low ing, fol low ing, fol low ing to (A)you.

(B)The map that (C#m)leads to you.

Ain’t noth ing I can (A)do.

(B)The map that (C#m)leads to (CN.C.)you.

Fol low ing, fol low ing, fol low ing.

About “Maps”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Maps"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C#. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Maps" by Maroon 5 played in?
Maps is arranged in the key of C# on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Maps"?
The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Maps" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Maps"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Maps"?
"Maps" was originally performed by Maroon 5. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.

This arrangement uses 7 chords: A, B, C, C#m, F#m, G#, G#pow.
What other songs by Maroon 5 can I play here?
Try "DON'T WANNA KNOW", "WHAT LOVERS DO", "DAYLIGHT". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Maps" 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 120 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.
