Mood : Playful Mood (Romantic!)

Key : Eb Major


This is another song that was played on the radio all the time. The hardest part to play for this song is actually the accompaniment, because it's continuous. It's not easy to recreate such continuous effect on the Piano. Another challenge is 2 voices. There are some parts where both singers sang together, those are really difficult to be recreated. But this song is really fantastic to play.

Introduction : 
Octave Eb for the background with a little D after each Eb.
Left Hand then dances on Eb while Right Hand plays :

Then Right Hand moves an Octave lower to play the Background while Left hand continuously dances on Chords Eb, Bb, F, Ab, Bb back to Eb

Slows Down


i'm feeling distracted 
and likewise attracted 
to all the things that you let me know 
all the things that you can't let go 
(Left Hand dances on Eb on the first two bars, then moves to C then Bb. Right Hand plays the Melody)

you're waiting for friction 
this empty addiction 
is forcing me to intervene 
let's break out of this scene 
(Left Hand dances on Eb on the first two bars, then moves to C then Bb. Right Hand plays the Melody)

Take note on Male and Female Voices

i know i am not alone 
i am not the only one who is broken 
and i know i'll never let you go 
i could watch the world pass by 
just as long as it's you and i 
you and i 
(Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, F, Ab, Bb for First Time. Then Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, C, Bb, Ab, C, Bb back to Eb. Right Hand plays the Melody)

i watch you take over 
i'll give you this offer 
take my hand and we'll run away 
leave behind our past to stay 
decaying till it's rotten 
and we'll have long forgotten 
the memories that will haunt your heart 
let's tear this town apart 
(Left Hand dances on Eb on the first two bars, then moves to C then Bb. Right Hand plays the Melody repeat with Octaves Left Hand)

i know i am not alone 
i am not the only one who is broken 
and i know i'll never let you go 
i could watch the world pass by 
just as long as it's you and i 
you and i 
(Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, F, Ab, Bb for First Time. Then Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, C, Bb, Ab, C, Bb back to Eb. Right Hand plays the Melody)

we watched the world go by 
(but if it's you and i) 
then we will never die 
(no we can never die) 
we watch the world go by 
but if it's you and i 
then we will never die 
(Bridge! Bold on C then Bb then Ab back to Bb and repeat. Right Hand on Melody)

i know i am not alone 
i am not the only one who is broken 
and i know i'll never let you go 
i could watch the world pass by 
just as long as it's you and i 
you and i 
(Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, F, Ab, Bb for First Time. Then Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, C, Bb, Ab, C, Bb back to Eb. Right Hand plays the Melody)

i know i am not alone 
i am not the only one who is broken 
and i know i'll never let you go 
i could watch the world pass by 
just as long as it's you and i you and i...
(Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, F, Ab, Bb for First Time. Then Left Hand dances strong and bold on Eb, Bb, C, Bb, Ab, C, Bb back to Eb. Right Hand plays the Melody)
