TAKE IT OFF THE SCREEN
Print the sheet for the piano stand, or load the MIDI into any app and practise at your own tempo.
HOW TO PLAY

- 2Set the speed down and turn CLICK on. Press each key exactly when the note reaches the line.
- 3Loop the bar that keeps breaking until it feels easy, then add the left hand and take the speed back up.
LYRICS
My fa ther sits at night with (Gmaj7)no lights on,
his cig a rette glows in the (Gmaj7)dark;
the liv ing room is still; I walk by no re (Am)mark.
I tip toe past the mas ter (Gmaj7)bed room where
my moth er reads her mag a (Gmaj7)zines;
I hear her call “sweet dreams” but I for get how to (Am)dream.
But you say it’s time we (Em7)moved in to geth er,
and raised a fam ’ly of our own, you and me.
Well, that’s the way I al ways (Em7)heard it should be.
You want to (A)mar ry me,
we’ll (D)mar ry.
My friends from col lege, they’re all (Gmaj7)mar ried now;
they have their hous es and their (Gmaj7)lawns.
They have their si lent noons, tear ful nights, an gry (Am)dawns.
Their chil dren hate them for the (Gmaj7)things they’re not;
they hate them selves for what they (Gmaj7)are;
and yet they drink, they laugh, just close the wounds, hide the (Am)scar.
But you say it’s time we (Em7)moved in to geth er,
and raised a fam ’ly of our own, you and me.
Well, that’s the way I al ways (Em7)heard it should be.
You want to (A)mar ry me,
we’ll (D)mar ry.
(D)mar
ry.
