Lyrics
Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for some thing some where?
(D)Bet ter just to have it.
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but your best ing’s
you’re (D)turned out how you want it.
Well, (A)bless my soul,
you’re a (Esus)lone ly soul
’cause you (F#m)won’t let go
of (D)an y thing you hold.
Well, (A)all I need
is the (Esus)air I breathe
and a (F#m)place to rest
my head.
Do you know what your fate is?
Are you try ing to shake it?
You’re do ing your best dance, your best look,
you’re (D)pray ing that you’ll make it.
Well, (A)bless my soul,
you’re a (Esus)lone ly soul
’cause you (F#m)won’t let go
of (D)an y thing you hold.
Well, (A)all I need
is the (Esus)air I breathe
and a (F#m)place to rest
my head.
Do you know what your fate
Say (A)all I need
is the (Esus)air I breathe
and a (F#m)place to rest
my head.
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it
(D)bet ter than you had it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it
(D)bet ter than you had it?
Do you think you can find (D)bet ter than you had it?
Say (A)all I need
is the (Esus)air I breathe
and a (F#m)place to rest
my head.
Say (A)all I need
is the (Esus)air I breathe
and a (F#m)place to rest
my head.
Say Do you know where the end is?
Do you think you can see it?
Well, un til you get there, go on,
(D)go a head and scream it;
just say...
Practice tip
Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
Questions about this song (13)
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Say"?
- 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 A. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Say" by OneRepublic played in?
- Say is arranged in the key of A on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Say"?
- The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Say" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "Say"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Say"?
- "Say" was originally performed by OneRepublic. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "Say"?
- This arrangement uses 5 chords: A, D, E, Esus4, F#m.
- What other songs by OneRepublic can I play here?
- Try "COUNTING STARS", "I LIVED", "BURNING BRIDGES". 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 — "Say" 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 A, 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 120 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.
