The Way I Am — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of Bb, 120 BPM.
Tip: Use the speed control to practice at 70% tempo first. Focus on tricky chord transitions before attempting the full arrangement.
Lyrics
If you were fall ing,
then I would (C)catch you.
You need a light,
I’d find a match.
’Cause (Bb)I (I
(C)love love the the way way.) you say good morn ing,
and (Bb)you
(Bbm)take me the (C)way I (F)am.
If you are chill y,
here, take my (C)sweat er.
Your head is ach ing,
I’ll make it (C)bet ter.
’Cause (Bb)I (I
(C)love love the the way way.) you call me “ba by,”
and (Bb6)you
(Bbm)take me the way I (F)am.
I’d buy you Ro gaine
when you start (C)los ing all your hair.
Sew on patch es
to all you tear.
’Cause (Bb)I (I
(C)love you more love than you I more.) could ev er prom ise,
and (Bb6)you
(Bbm)take me the way I
am.
