Lyrics

You took n’t my heart y and you held it in your mouth.

And,

with a word, lowed all my love came rush ing out.

And,

ev ’ry whis (C6)per, it’s the worst,

emp tied out by a sin gle word.

And There is a hol low in me now, (Am7)me now, me now.

So I put my faith in some thing un known.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

But I’m try’n’ to hope with noth in’ to hold.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

And it’s hard to learn.

And it’s hard to love when you’re giv in’ me (G)such sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’.

You’re giv ing me (G)such sweet noth in’.

It is n’t eas heart y and for me to let it go.

’Cause

I have swal lowed all ev love ’ry sin gle word.

And,

ev ’ry whis (C6)per, ev ’ry sigh

eats a way at this heart of mine.

And there is a hol low in me now, (Am7)me now, me now.

So I put my faith in some thing un known.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

But I’m try’n’ to hope with noth in’ to hold.

I’m liv in’ on (G)such sweet noth in’.

And it’s hard to learn.

And it’s hard to love when you’re giv in’ me (G)such sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’, sweet noth in’.

You’re giv ing me (G)such sweet noth in’.

And it’s not e nough

to tell me that you care

when

we both know

that words are emp ty air.

You give me (Fmaj7)noth in’,

noth in’.

Whoa,

whoa,

whoa,

sweet noth in’.

Whoa,

About “Sweet Nothing

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Sweet Nothing"?
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 "Sweet Nothing" by Calvin Harris played in?
Sweet Nothing is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Sweet Nothing"?
The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Sweet Nothing" 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 "Sweet Nothing"?

What other songs by Calvin Harris can I play here?
Try "THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR", "PROMISES", "I NEED YOUR LOVE". 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 — "Sweet Nothing" 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 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.
