Lyrics

You can (Eb)cheat the dev il you can and slice a piece of the sun.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)Burn up the high way,

but be fore you run,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

(Ab)You can (Eb)stop the world,

steal the face from the moon.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)beat the clock,

but be fore high noon,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some one.

You’ve you’re got one (Bb)life with a rea son, you need two hearts on one side.

When you stand a lone and there’s no one there

to (F7)share the way

you (Bb)feel (Ab)in (Gm)side, (Fm)and, (Eb)ba (Bb)by,

you can (Eb)win the fight, il you can and grab a piece of the sky.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)break the the rules, way,

but be fore you try,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

(Ab)You can (Eb)stop the world,

steal the face from the moon.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)beat the clock,

but be fore high noon,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some one.

When you’re gon na (Bb)play with fire, rea you let some one share the heat.

When you’re on your own and there’s no one there

to (F7)cool the flames

be (Bb)neath (Ab)your (Gm)feet, (Fm)and, (Eb)ba (Bb)by,

you can

you can

You got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

You got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

About “You Gotta Love Someone”

What key is "You Gotta Love Someone" by Elton John played in?
You Gotta Love Someone is arranged in the key of Eb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "You Gotta Love Someone" 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 Eb, 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 92 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.
