Sugar, We're Goin' Down — Classic Piano Sheet Music
9 people have learned this song
Read "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" by Fall Out Boy in classic piano notation — both hands, real chords + notes, in the published key of D. Engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML; click any note to jump there as the score follows along at 155 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for your right hand's ability to snap between chord shapes quickly — at 155 BPM in the key of D, those power chords like Bpow, Gpow, and Epow will fly by, so you need clean, confident hand shifts rather than fumbling for individual notes.
Your left hand stays grounded with a block bass pattern, which is good news: let it be your anchor while your right hand does the heavy lifting.
I'd suggest starting hands-separate at around 100 BPM, focusing first on the right-hand chord changes — especially the move from Bm to Gsus2, which catches a lot of students off guard because the shape change is wider than it feels.
Once that's smooth, bring your hands together and bump the tempo up in small increments.
Watch the transition into the C and Cpow sections too; they sit outside the home key and your fingers will want to drift.
Loop those passages until they feel automatic.
This is the song that'll really lock in your power-chord vocabulary and teach you to keep steady time when the energy is pushing you to rush.

About “Sugar, We're Goin' Down”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Sugar, We're Goin' Down"?

- Yes — "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" 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 D, 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 155 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.
