Lyrics

When it rains it pours and o pens doors that flood the floors we thought would al ways (C)keep us safe and dry.

And in the midst of sail ing (F)ships we sink our lips in to the ones we love that (C)have to say good bye.

And as I (C)float a long this o cean

I can feel you like a no tion that won’t (G)seem to let me go.

’Cause when I look to the sky some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And you make (Am)ev ’ry thing al (Bbsus2)right.

But when I feel like I’m lost some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way when you are here.

And ev ’ry word I did n’t say caught up in some bus y day.

And ev ’ry dance on the kitch en floor we did n’t have be fore.

And ev ’ry sun set that we’ll (F)miss, I’ll wrap them all up in a kiss and pick you up in all of this when I sail a way.

(Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way.

(F)Wheth er I am up or down, or in, or out, or just plain o ver head in stead.

It feels like it’s im (Bbsus2)pos si ble to fly.

But (F)with you I can spread my wings to see me o ver ev ’ry thing that (F)life may send me when I’m hop ing it won’t pass me by.

And when I feel like there’s no one that will ev er know me, there you are to show me.

When I look to the sky some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And you make (Bbsus2)ev ’ry thing al way when you are here.

When I feel like I’m lost some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way when you are here.

When I look to the sky some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Bbsus2)al ways find my way when you are here.

When I feel like I’m lost some thing tells me you’re here with me.

And I can (Am)al ways find my (Bbsus2)way when you are 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.

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.
