Lyrics

(C)It’s not (Em)that un (F)us u al when (C)ev ’ry (Em)thing is (F)beau ti ful, it’s (Am)just an oth er (F)or di nar y (Dm)mir a (G)cle to (C)day.

The sky knows (Em)when it’s (F)time to snow, you don’t (C)need to (Em)teach a (F)seed to grow, it’s (Am)just an oth er (F)or di nar y (Dm)mir a (G)cle to (C)day.

Life is like a (Em)gift, they say,

wrapped up for you (Em)ev ’ry day,

o pen up and (Em)find a way

to give some of your (Gsus)own.

(C)Is n’t (Em)it re (F)mark ab le?

Like (C)ev ’ry (Em)time a (F)rain drop falls, it’s (Am)just an oth er (F)or di nar y (Dm)mir a (G)cle to (C)day.

The Birds in (Em)win ter (F)have their fling you and (C)al ways (Em)make it (F)home by spring, it’s (Am)just an oth er (F)or di nar y (Dm)mir a (G)cle to (C)day.

When you wake up (Em)ev ’ry day,

please don’t throw your (Em)dreams a way,

hold them close and (Em)to your heart,

to give some of your (Gsus)own.

’cause we are all a (G7)part

of the (Bbmaj7)or di nar y mir a cle.

Or di nar y mir a cle.

Do you want to see a mir a cle?

It seems (Em)so ex (F)cep tion al, that (C)things just (Em)work out (F)af ter all, it’s (Am)just an oth er (F)or di nar y (Dm)mir a (G)cle to (C)day.

The sun comes (F#m)up and (G)shines so bright,

it dis ap (F#m)pears a (G)gain at night, it’s (Bm)just an oth er (G)or di nar y (Em)mir a (A)cle to (D)day.

Ooh.

(D)Ooh.

It’s (Bm)just an oth er (G)or di nar y (Em)mir a (A)cle to (D)day.

About “Ordinary Miracle”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Ordinary Miracle"?
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 "Ordinary Miracle" by Sarah McLachlan played in?
Ordinary Miracle is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Ordinary Miracle"?
The arrangement plays at 60 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Ordinary Miracle" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "Ordinary Miracle"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Ordinary Miracle"?
"Ordinary Miracle" was originally performed by Sarah McLachlan. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.

Try "ADIA", "BUILDING A MYSTERY", "WHEN SHE LOVED ME". 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 — "Ordinary Miracle" 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 60 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.
