Lyrics
(A)Look ing for some thing I’ve nev er seen, a lone and I’m in be tween.
The place that I’m from and the place that I’m in, a (E)cit y I’ve nev er been.
I found a friend or should I say a foe.
Said (E)there’s a few things you should know.
We don’t want you to see we come and we go.
Here to day gone to mor row.
We’re on ly tak ing turns
(C#m7)hold ing
(Esus)this (E)world.
It’s how it’s al ways been.
When you’re old er, you will un der (A)stand.
If I say who I know, it just goes to show you need me less than I need you.
But, take it from me, we don’t give sym pa thy.
You can trust me, trust no bod (A)y.
But, I said you and me we don’t have hon es ty, the things we don’t want to speak.
And I’ll try to get out but I nev er will.
(Emaj7)Traf fic is per fect ly (A)still.
(Amaj7)stand.
And then a gain may be you don’t.
And then a gain may be you won’t.
(Oo,
we’re on ly tak ing turns.)
We’re on ly tak ing turns
(C#m7)hold ing
(Esus)this (E)world.
It’s how it’s al ways been.
When you’re old er, you will un der (A)stand.
When you’re old er, you might un der (Amaj7)stand.
When you’re old er, you might un der (Amaj7)stand.
(A)stand.

Questions about this song (13)
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Trust Me"?
- 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 E. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Trust Me" by The Fray played in?
- Trust Me is arranged in the key of E on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Trust Me"?
- The arrangement plays at 108 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Trust Me" 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.

- Try "HAPPINESS", "HEARTBEAT", "FALL AWAY". 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 — "Trust Me" 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 E, 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 108 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.
