Lyrics

(C5)Peo (F)ple

have the (C5)right to (F)fly,

and (C5)will (F)when

it gets (C5)com pro (F)mised.

Their hearts say, (C)“Move a (Bb)long.”

Their minds say, (Gm11)“Got cha heart.

Let’s move it a long.”

And (C5)air (F)ports

see it (C5)all the (F)time,

where some one’s (C)last good (Bb)bye

blends in with (Gm11)some one’s sigh

’cause some one’s (C)com ing (Bb)home,

in hand a (Gm11)sin gle rose.

And that’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

That’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

And I won’t (C)be the (Bb)last,

no, I won’t (Gm11)be the last

to love her.

(C5)You (F)can’t

build a (C5)house of (F)leaves

and (C5)live (F)like

it’s an (C5)ev er (F)green.

It’s just a (C)sea son (Bb)thing.

It’s just this thing the sea sons do.

And that’s the way

You can (C5)find (F)me

if you ev er (C5)want a (F)gain.

I’ll be a (Bbsus2)round the bend.

I’ll be a (Gm11)round the bend.

I’ll be a (Bbsus2)round.

I’ll be a round.

And if you (Bbsus2)nev er stop when you wave good bye, you (Gm11)just might find if you give it time you will (Bbsus2)wave hel lo a gain.

You just might wave hel lo a gain.

And that’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

That’s the way

this wheel

keeps work ing now.

You can’t love too much one part of it.

You can’t love too much one part of it.

You can’t love too much one part of it.

About “Wheel”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Wheel"?

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Wheel" 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 F, 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.
