Lyrics

One word,

that’s all you (A)said.

But (Bm)some thin’ in your voice caused me to (G)turn

my head.

Your smile

just cap tured (A)me.

And (Bm)you were in my fu ture,

far as (G)I could see.

And I (A)don’t know how it hap pened,

but it (D)hap pened still.

You ask me if I love you,

if I (G)al ways

will.

(A)Well,

(D)you

had me from hel lo.

I felt love start to grow

the (Bm7)mo ment that I looked in to your eyes, you owned me.

(D)It

was o ver from the start.

You com plete ly stole my heart

and (Bm7)now you won’t let go.

I (Em7)nev er e ven had a chance, you know.

You had me from hel lo.

(G)In side

I built a wall

so (Bm)high a round my heart

I (A)thought I’d (G)nev er fall.

One touch,

you

brought it (A)down,

the (Bm)bricks of my de fens es scat tered on the ground.

And I (A)swore to me I was n’t gon na love a gain.

The (Bm)last time was the last time

I (G)let some one in.

(A)But

me from hel lo.

That’s all you (A)said,

(Bm)Some thin’ in your voice caused me to turn my head.

You had me from hel lo.

You had me from hel lo.

Girl, I’ve (A7)love you from hel (D)lo.

Yes — "You Had Me From Hello" 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 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.
