You think I’m pret ty with out (Bbsus2)an y make up on, you think I’m fun ny when I (Bbsus2)tell the punch line wrong.

I know you get me, so I (Bbsus2)let my walls come down,

Be fore you met me, I (Fsus)was all right but things were kind of heav y.

(Gm)You brought (Fsus)me to life.

Now, ev ’ry Feb ru a ry, you’ll (Fsus)be my val en tine,

val en (Gm)tine.

Let’s go (Ebmaj7)all

the (Gm)way (Fsus)to night; no re grets,

just (Gm)love.

We can (Ebmaj7)dance

un (Gm)til (Fsus)we die, you and I

will be (Gm)young (Fsus)for ev er.

(Ebmaj7)You make me (Fsus)feel like I’m liv ing a (Ebmaj7)teen age dream, (Fsus)the way you turn me on.

(Ebmaj7)I can’t sleep.

(Fsus)Let’s run a way and don’t (Ebmaj7)ev er look back, don’t ev (Fsus)er look back.

(Ebmaj9)My heart stops (Fsus)when you look at me.

(Ebmaj9)Just one touch, (Fsus)now ba by, I be lieve (Ebmaj9)this is real.

(Fsus)So take a chance and don’t (Ebmaj9)ev er look back, don’t ev (Fsus)er look back.

We drove to Ca li and (Fsus)got drunk on the beach, were got a mo tel (Gm)and built (Fsus)a fort out of sheets.

I fi n’lly found you, my (Fsus)miss ing puz zle piece.

I’m com (Gm)plete.

Teenage Dream — Classic Piano Sheet Music

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chords in a pop context — those Ebmaj7, Ebmaj9, and Bbsus2 voicings sound lush but sit nicely under your fingers once you've mapped them out.

Your left hand plays block bass, so the rhythmic drive comes mainly from your right hand; focus on locking that right-hand pulse to the 120 BPM groove before speeding up.

The trickiest transitions tend to be moving between Fsus4 and Gm cleanly — practice just that two-chord shift in a slow loop until the fingering feels automatic.

I'd suggest hands-separate work first, especially to nail the stretch in those maj9 shapes, then combine at around 80 BPM and build up gradually.

Watch your timing on the sus2 and sus4 chords; students often rush through suspensions instead of letting them breathe.

This is the song that'll make extended major voicings feel like second nature in your playing.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Teenage Dream" 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 Eb, 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.
