Lyrics

Drew looks

at me,

I fake a smile so he won’t see that I want and I’m need in’ ev ’ry thing that we should be.

I’ll bet she’s beau ti ful, that girl he talks a bout.

And she’s got ev ’ry thing that (F)I have to live with out.

Drew talks

to me,

I laugh ’cause it’s so damn fun ny that I he can’t so e ven see

the kind an y one when he’s with me.

He says he’s so in love, he’s fi n’lly got it right.

I won der if he knows he’s (F)all I think a bout at night.

’Cause He’s the rea son for the (F)tear drops on my gui tar, the on ly thing that keeps me (Eb)wish in’ on a wish in’ star.

He’s the song in the car I keep sing in’.

Don’t know why I do.

Drew walks

by me,

I can he tell that I can’t breathe?

And there he goes, so per fect ly,

the kind an less I wish I could be.

She bet ter hold him tight, As give him all her love, look in those beau ti ful eyes (F)may and know she’s luck y ’cause ’Cause he’s the rea son for the (F)tear drops on my gui tar, the on ly one who’s got e (Eb)nough of me to break my heart.

He’s the song in the car I keep sing in’.

Don’t know why I do.

I keep sing in’.

Don’t know why I do.

He’s the time tak en up, but there’s nev er e nough and he’s all that I need to fall in to.

Drew looks

at me.

I fake a smile, so he won’t (Bb)see.

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?

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.
