Time — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

Watch "Time" by Ne-Yo 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 Ab, 69 BPM.

Tip: Break this song into sections and master each one separately. The speed control lets you drill difficult passages at any tempo.

Lyrics

“How come you don’t make time for me an y more?” That’s the last thing she (Gm)said to you. And now, when you call, she don’t an swer an y more, or the line is bus y and you can’t get through. In the time it would take you to learn from your mis takes, in the time it would take to dial the phone, in the time it would take you to re al ize her great ness, she’ll be gone. She’s moved on to some one who takes the time. Her love was n’t a pri or i ty to you. You had oth er things (Gm)on your mind. And now that it’s much too lit tle and so far too late, the (Bb)bus y sig nal’s all that’s left be hind. You’re all a lone. In the time No one knows what they have un til they don’t, and by then it does n’t mat ter an y more. You’re all a lone. In the time it would take you to learn from your mis takes, in the time it would take to dial the phone, in the time it would take you to re al ize her great ness, she’ll be gone. She’ll be gone. In the time it would take you to re al ize her great ness, she’ll be gone. She’s moved on. Hang up the (Cm)phone.
