Lyrics
And (A)e ven though the mo ment passed me by,
I (F#m7)still can't turn a way.
I (A)saw the dreams you nev er thought you'd lose
get you (F#m7)tossed a long the way.
And (A)let ters that you nev er meant to send
get (F#m7)lost or thrown a way.
And (F#m7)now I called up or
phans, I (Dsus2)nev er knew their names,
who (F#m7)don't be long to no one.
That's a shame.
A (F#m7)You could hide be side
me,
(Dsus2)may be for a while,
and (F#m7)I won't tell no
one your (Dsus2)name.
And I won't tell 'em your (A)name.
The (A)scars are sou ve nirs you nev er lose,
the (F#m7)past is nev er far.
And (A)did you lose your self some where out there?
Did you (F#m7)get to be a star?
And (A)don't it make you sad to know that life
is (F#m7)more than who we are?
You (F#m7)grew up way too fast
and there's (Dsus2)noth ing to be lieve.
And (F#m7)re runs all be come our his to ry.
A (F#m7)tir ed song keeps play
on
(Dsus2)tir ed ra di o,
and (F#m7)I won't tell no
one your (Dsus2)name.
And I won't tell 'em your (A)name.
The
(F#m7)I won't tell (Esus)'em your name.

Questions about this song (13)
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Name"?
- 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 A. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Name" by Goo Goo Dolls played in?
- Name is arranged in the key of A on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Name"?
- The arrangement plays at 100 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Name" 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 "Name"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Name"?
- "Name" was originally performed by Goo Goo Dolls. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Name"?
- This arrangement uses 5 chords: A, Apow, Dsus2, Esus4, F#m7.
- What other songs by Goo Goo Dolls can I play here?
- Try "BLACK BALLOON", "BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE", "STAY WITH YOU". 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 — "Name" 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 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.
