On Top Of The World — Classic Piano Sheet Music
13 people have learned this song
Read "On Top Of The World" by Imagine Dragons in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of C. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with suspended and color chords in a pop context.
Your left hand plays block chords throughout, so the main challenge isn't complex patterns — it's nailing clean transitions between closely related shapes like C and Csus2, or G, Gsus4, and Gpow.
Pay close attention to which finger lifts or shifts when moving between a chord and its suspended variant; often it's just one note changing, so keep your hand anchored and move only what needs to move.
At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the upbeat feel can tempt you to rush, so practice with a metronome and lock in the pulse before adding speed.
Start hands-separate, getting your left-hand chord changes automatic before layering in the melody.
Loop the verse progression — the C to F to Am to G cycle and its variants — until it feels effortless.
This is the song that'll make sus chords feel like second nature in your playing.

- 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.
