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. I live inside my own world of make-believe
    Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
    I see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach
    Cross out the ones who heard my cries and watched me weep

    I love everything
    Fire's spreading all around my room
    My world's so bright
    It's hard to breathe but that's all right, hush
    Shh

    Tape my eyes open to force reality (no, no)
    Why can't you just let me eat my weight in glee?
    I live inside my own world of make-believe
    Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
    Some days I feel skinnier than all the other days
    And sometimes I can't tell if my body belongs to me

    I love everything
    Fire's spreading all around my room
    My world's so bright
    It's hard to breathe but that's all right, hush
    Shh

    I want to taste your content
    Hold your breath and feel the tension
    Devils hide behind redemption
    Honesty is a one-way gate to Hell
    I want to taste consumption
    Breathe faster to waste oxygen
    Hear the children sing aloud
    It's music 'til the wick burns out, hush

    Just wanna be carefree lately, yeah
    Just kicking up daisies
    Got one too many quarters in my pockets
    Count 'em like the four-leaf clovers in my locket
    Untied laces, yeah
    Just tripping on daydreams
    Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat
    Might as well just rot around the nursery and count sheep
