Well, I guess that I was (G)lone ly.

That’s why I called you on the (G)phone;

’cause in a mo ment (G)of for (Em)give ness

And I guess that I was (G)will in’,

more than I ev er was (G)be fore,

’cause in a (G)mo ment of for (Em)give ness

I come a (D)knock in’ at your (G)door.

Ba by, I woke up cry in’ last night just to (C)real ize that you were gone.

Has (G)it been two long years with out you?

Tell me now, when are you gon na come (D)home?

Guess that I was (G)hop ing

that you’d fi n’ly un der (G)stand,

and in a (G)mo ment of for (Em)give ness

you’d reach out and take my (G)hand.

Now, ba by, I know

you’re not one

for bear ing wit (G)ness,

and you told me (G)that (Em)one

wrong move is gon na (D)sell you out.

And I see that you kept your word

Wish I could save you (G)the trou (Em)ble, ba by,

give you a lit tle peace of (G)mind.

And in a mo ment of for (Em)give ness

you reach out and take my (G)hand.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?

You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, 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.
