Lyrics

(Dm11)Ice,

your on ly (Bb6)riv ers run cold.

These cit y lights,

they shine as sil ver and gold dug from the (Dm11)night.

Your eyes (Bb6)as black as coal.

(F)Walk on (C)by, (F)walk on (C)through, (Eb)walk (Ebsus2)’til you run, (Ebsus2)and don’t look (Bbsus)back,

for (Bbsus)here

I am.

Car ni (Dm11)val.

The wheels fly and the col ors spin through al co hol.

Red wine that (Bb6)punc tures the skin.

Face to face

in a dry and (Bb6)wa ter less place.

(F)Walk on (C)by, (F)walk on (C)through.

So (Eb)sad (Ebsus2)to be seige your (Ebsus2)love so

(Bb)head on.

(F)Stay

this time.

(F)Stay to (C)night (F)in a lie.

(Eb)I’m (Ebsus2)on ly ask ing, (Ebsus2)but I,

(Bb)I think you know.

(F)Come on, (Fsus2)take me a way.

(F)Come on, (C)take me a (Gm9)way.

Come on, take me home,

home a (Dm11)gain.

And (F)if the (Fsus2)moun tains should (F)crum ble

(F)or (C)dis ap pear in (Ebsus2)to the sea, (Ebsus2)not a tear, (Bb)no, not I.

(F)Stay

(Fsus2)in this time.

(F)Stay to (C)night (F)in a lie.

(Eb)Ev (Ebsus2)er (Eb)af (Ebsus2)ter,

And (Bb)if you (F)save (Fsus2)your love,

Don’t (A7)push me too far

(Dm9)to night,

to night,

to night.

About “Unforgettable Fire”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Unforgettable Fire"?
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 D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Unforgettable Fire" by U2 played in?

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Unforgettable Fire" 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 D, 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 136 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.
