Lyrics

Out on my win dow ledge,

I don’t feel (A5)safe.

And I (F)stay

look ing down on you.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

I can’t (D5)just walk a way.

(D5)Be nice to walk a (A5)way,

but I don’t feel (A5)safe.

Get a way,

all the (D5)way up here.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

It’s out of (D5)my hands for now.

Oh, it is.

Down from here,

and down from here.

Start to feel in (A5)sane, zy,

be (F)trayed,

out on my (D5)win dow ledge.

Now our (A)fin est (D5)hour ar rives.

See the (A)pig dressed in his fin est (A)fine.

And all the be (A)liev ers stand be hind him and (A)smile

as the (A)day lights (D5)up with fire.

Let me in.

Let me in.

I start to feel like I’m

Look ing down from (A)here.

It’s out of my (D5)hands for (A)now.

Out on my win dow ledge.

It’s out of my (D5)hands for (A)now.

So let me in.

Let me in.

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?

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.
