Lyrics

She’s out of my (E)life.

She’s out of my (E)life.

And I don’t know (B)wheth er

to (G#m7)laugh

or (C#m7)cry.

and I I don’t know wheth er I to (G#)live or die.

(C#m7)lier.

And it (A)cuts like a knife;

she’s (A)out of (B)my (E)life.

It’s out of my (E)hands.

It’s out of my (E)hands.

And To think for (B)two years

to (G#m7)she

was (C#m7)here,

and I took her for grant ed; I was (G#)so cav a (C#m7)lier.

Now the (A)way that it stands,

she’s (A)out of (B)my (E)life.

(E)hands.

So I’ve (D)learned

that love’s not pos (E)ses sion,

and I’ve (D)learned

that (A)love won’t (E)wait.

Now I’ve learned

that love needs ex (C#m)pres sion, but I’ve (A)learned

too (A)late,

(B)and

she’s

out of my (E)life.

She’s out of my (E)life.

Damned in de (B)ci sion

and (G#m7)curs

ed (C#m7)pride.

I kept my love for her locked deep in (C#m7)side,

and it (A)cuts like a knife;

she’s (A)out of (B)my (E)life.

Mm.

She's Out Of My Life — Simple Sheet Music

"She's Out Of My Life" in simplified sheet music format — the bridge between beginner modes and real sheet music. Color-coded notes with lyrics scrolling horizontally. Perfect for learning to read music. Key of E, 58 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a beautiful entry point into expressive ballad playing — but don't let the slow 58 BPM tempo fool you into thinking it's effortless.

Your left hand plays block chords, which keeps the bass simple, but you're cycling through twenty different chord shapes, including less common ones like C#dim7 and Gdim7 that will stretch your fingers into unfamiliar positions.

Start hands-separate: get your right hand melody smooth and singing first, then drill the left-hand chord changes in isolation, especially the transitions around C#m to C#dim7 and any move involving Bsus4 resolving to B.

Once you combine hands, loop those trickier progressions at half speed until they feel automatic.

Use the sustain pedal gently — at this tempo, over-pedaling turns everything muddy, so lift cleanly with each chord change.

This is the piece that'll genuinely expand your chord vocabulary beyond the basics, and that payoff transfers to everything you play next.
