Lyrics

(Cm7)No, I think I’ll stay in to (Fm7)night,

(Bb)skip the con ver sa tions and the “Oh, I’m fines.”

(Cm7)No, I’m no stran ger to sur (Fm7)prise.

This (Bb)pa per town has let me down too man y times.

Why do I e ven try?

Give me a rea son why.

I (Bb)thought that I could trust you; nev er mind.

Why all the switch ing sides?

Where do I draw the line?

I (Bb)guess I’m too na ive to read the signs.

(CN.C.)I’m just look ing for some (Cm7)real friends;

all they ev er do is (Fm7)let me down.

Ev ’ry time I let some (Bb)bod y in,

then I find out what they’re (Eb)all a bout.

I’m just look ing for some (Cm7)real friends;

won der where they’re all (Fm7)hid ing out.

I’m just look ing for some (Bb)real friends.

Got ta get up out ta (Eb)this town.

(Oh.)

I (Cm7)stay up talk ing to the (Fm7)moon,

and (Bb)feel ing so a lone in ev ’ry crowd ed room.

(Cm7)Can’t help but feel like some thing’s wrong,

yeah,

(Bb)’cause the place I’m liv ing in just (Eb)does n’t feel like (CN.C.)home.

I’m just look ing for some (Cm7)real friends;

all they ev er do is (Fm7)let me down.

Ev ’ry time I let some (Bb)bod y in,

then I find out what they’re (Eb)all a bout.

I’m just look ing for some (Cm7)real friends;

won der where they’re all is (Fm7)hid ing out.

I’m just look ing for some (Bb)real friends.

Got ta get up out ta (Eb)this town.

I’m just look ing for some (Ah.)

About “Real Friends”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Real Friends"?
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.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Real Friends" 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 92 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.
