Safe And Sound — Classic Piano Sheet Music
13 people have learned this song
Read "Safe And Sound" by Capital Cities 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 115 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chords like Am7, Dm9, and Fmaj7 — they sound jazzy but sit nicely under your fingers in the key of C, since most use only white keys with small adjustments.
Your left hand drives the feel with an octave bass pattern, so start there: practice jumping cleanly between those octave intervals at a slow tempo until the distances feel automatic, then gradually bring it up toward 115 BPM.
The trickiest transitions tend to be moving between Fmaj7 and Fsus2 (just one note changes, so keep your hand planted) and catching the G6 without hesitating.
I'd suggest looping the verse progression hands-separately first, then combining at about 80 BPM before speeding up.
Watch your rhythm — the upbeat pop groove needs steady eighth-note energy, so avoid dragging during chord switches.
Once this clicks, you'll have real confidence handling seventh and ninth chords in any pop song that comes next.

About “Safe And Sound”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Safe And Sound"?
- 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 "Safe And Sound" by Capital Cities played in?
- Safe And Sound is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Safe And Sound" 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 115 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.
