Lyrics

It’s sad to think

we’re not gon na (Gm7)make it,

and it’s (Gm7)got ten to the point

where (C7)we just can’t (Fmaj7)fake it.

But for (Bb)some un god ly rea son,

we (Bb)just won’t let it die.

I guess (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the first to say good (F)bye.

I keep (Fmaj7)won d’ring

what I’ll do with (Gm7)out you.

And I (Gm7)guess you must be

(Gm7)won der ing that (Fmaj7)same thing, too.

So we (Bb)go on

to (Am)geth er,

liv ing a (Bb)lie,

be cause (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the first to say good (F)bye.

(Bb)Ev ’ry time I find the nerve to say

I’m (Fmaj7)leav in’,

old (Gm)mem o ries

get in the (Fmaj7)way.

Lord knows it’s on ly me

that I’m de (Am)ceiv ing;

when it (Dm)comes to say ing good (C#)bye,

that’s a (G7)word I just can’t (Gm)say.

There can (F)be no way

this can have a hap py (Gm)end ing.

So we (C7)just go on

hurt ing and pre (Fmaj7)tend ing,

and con (Bb)vinc ing our selves to (Am7)give it

just one more (Bb)try.

Be cause (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the one to say good (Dm)bye;

be cause (F)nei ther one of us

wants to be the first to say good (F)bye.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Neither One Of Us" 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 Bb, 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 80 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.
