Lyrics

Do not get me the wrong, I can not wait for you to come home.

For now, you’re not where here is, and I’m not there.

It’s like we’re (Bb)on our own.

To it fig ure it out, con sid er how to find a (Bb)place to stand, in stead of walk ing a way and in stead of no where di to land.

This is gon na (Cm7)break me (Gm7)clean in (Eb6/9)two.

This is gon na (Cm7)bring me (Gm7)close to (Bb)you.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I need that I nev er knew (Cm7)I want ed.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I want that I nev er knew (Cm7)I need ed.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I need that I nev er knew (Cm7)I want ed.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I want that I nev er knew (Bb)I need (Ebmaj9)ed.

It’s all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down.

For I don’t know where it is, I don’t know when, but I want (Bb)you a round.

When it falls in to place with you and I, we go from (Bb)“if” to “when.” in Your of side and a mine are both be hind its in di ca tion.

This is gon na (Cm7)bring me (Gm7)clar i (Eb6/9)ty.

This ’ll take the (Cm7)heart right (Gm7)out of (Bb)me.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I need that I nev er knew (Cm7)I want ed.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I want that I nev er knew (Cm7)I need ed.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I need that I nev er knew (Cm7)I want ed.

(Gm)She is ev ’ry (Bb)thing I want that I nev er knew (Bb)I need (Ebmaj9)ed.

(Ebmaj9)ed.

This is gon na (Cm7)bring me (Gm7)to my (Eb6/9)knees.

I just wan na (Cm7)hold you (Gm7)close to me.

About “She Is”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "She Is"?
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 Bb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "She Is" by The Fray played in?
She Is is arranged in the key of Bb 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 — "She Is" 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 Bb, 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 137 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.
