Quick guide on how to read the letter notes

how to read and play the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.

The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.

Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.

The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

  1. Loving can hurt
    Loving can hurt sometimes
    But it's the only thing that I know
    When it gets hard
    You know it can get hard sometimes
    It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

    We keep this love in a photograph
    We made these memories for ourselves
    Where our eyes are never closing
    Hearts are never broken
    Times forever frozen still

    So you can keep me
    Inside the pocket
    Of your ripped jeans
    Holding me closer
    'Til our eyes meet
    You won't ever be alone
    Wait for me to come home

    Loving can heal
    Loving can mend your soul
    And it's the only thing that I know (know)
    I swear it will get easier
    Remember that with every piece of ya
    And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

    We keep this love in a photograph
    We made these memories for ourselves
    Where our eyes are never closing
    Hearts were never broken
    Times forever frozen still

    So you can keep me
    Inside the pocket
    Of your ripped jeans
    Holding me closer
    'Til our eyes meet
    You won't ever be alone

    And if you hurt me
    That's OK, baby, only words bleed
    Inside these pages you just hold me
    And I won't ever let you go

    Wait for me to come home
    Wait for me to come home
    Wait for me to come home
    Wait for me to come home

    Oh you can fit me
    Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
    Next to your heartbeat
    Where I should be
    Keep it deep within your soul

    And if you hurt me
    Well, that's OK, baby, only words bleed
    Inside these pages you just hold me
    And I won't ever let you go

    When I'm away
    I will remember how you kissed me
    Under the lamppost
    Back on 6th street
    Hearing you whisper through the phone
    "Wait for me to come home"
