Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (piano tutorial & orchestral cover)

I first heard this song from the amazing Pianistmiri. Check her out below...

Then I heard the actual song and was stunned at how crisp yet smooth the studio version was. Once I started to study and transcribe this song, it became clear that this song is songwriting genius (especially the lyrics). Any songwriter would benefit greatly from studying this song, even if this isn't your style of music.

Just as the song says, the cover is meant to be close to the original (except for the ending). I used Sibelius 6 to create the cover, and the piano scroll was created using Synthesia.

If you don't play piano, try it on the guitar. The whole song repeats these chords: F, Dm, Gm, F

If you are new to guitar, put a capo on the 5th fret and play these easy chord shapes: C, Am, Dm, C

Oh, and if u want something jazzy, try this (on gtar)....

capo on 3rd fret

F (xx023x)
Dm (x2023x)
G (32003x)
Gm7 (353335)

and finally... lyrics :)


Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are

The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are

And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah
