I’m bro ken,
do you hear me?
I’m blind ed
’cause (Em)you are ev ’ry thing I see.
I’m danc ing
a lone.
I’m pray ing
that (Em)your heart will just turn a round.
And as I walk up to your door my head turns to face the floor.
’Cause I can’t look you in the eyes and say...
When he (C)o pens his arms and holds you close to night
it just won’t feel right.
’Cause I can love you more than this.
When he (C)lays you down I might just die in side,
it just don’t feel right.
’Cause I can love you more than this.
Can love you more than this.

- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "More Than This"?
- 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 "More Than This" by One Direction played in?
- More Than This is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- The arrangement plays at 138 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.

- This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "More Than This" 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 138 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.
