Lyrics

I should ink my skin,

with your name.

And (A)take my pass port out a gain

and just re place

it.

See, I could (A)do with out a tan on my left hand, where my fourth fin ger meets my knuck le.

And I should (A)run you a hot bath

and fill it up with bub bles.

’Cause may be you’re love a ble

and (E)may be you’re my snow flake.

And your (A)eyes turn from green to grey in the win ter, I’ll hold you in a cold place.

And you should nev er cut your hair, ’cause I (E)love the way you flick it off your shoul der,

hmm.

And (D)you will nev er know

just how (E)beau ti ful you are to me.

But may be I’m just in love when you wake

me up.

And would you ev er feel guil ty if you did the same to me?

Could you make me a cup of tea, to o pen my eyes in the right way?

And I know you love “Shrek,” ’cause we’ve watched it twelve times.

But may be you’re hop ing for a (E)fai ry tale, too.

And if your (A)D.

V.

D.

breaks to day, you should have got a V.

C.

R.

Be cause I’ve nev er owned a Blu Ray, true say, And now I’ve (A)al ways been shit at com pu ter games, and your broth er al ways beats me.

And if I (D)lost, I’d go a cross and chuck all the con (E)trol lers at the T V and then you’d laugh at me, and be ask ing me if I’m gon na be home next week.

And then you’d lie with me till I fall a sleep, and flut ter eye (E)lash on my cheek be tween the sheets.

And I think you hate the smell of smoke, you al ways try get me to stop.

You drink as much as me, and I get drunk a lot.

So, I take you to the beach

and walk a long the sand.

And I’ll make you a heart pen dant with a peb ble held in my hand.

And I’ll carve it like a neck lace, so the heart falls where your chest is.

And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach and it falls just where it needs to be and rests, peace ful ly, so you just need to breathe to feel my heart a gainst yours now,

a gainst yours now.

’Cause (D)may be I’m just in love when you wake

me up.

Or (D)may be I’m just in love when you wake me up.

Mmm, and (D)may be I feel in love when you woke

me up.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Wake Me Up" 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 A, 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 100 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.
