Never Tear Us Apart Keys / Lead Sheet

An easy intermediate piano / vocal / guitar lead sheet of INXS “Never Tear Us Apart” with suggested keyboard / synthesizer part.

Music and lyrics by Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence. Arranged by Simone Collins. Key of A minor (original key).

This is another one of my Park Jam arrangements, from my second Park Jam session. This is one of my favourite ones to play since the synth accompaniment adds great atmosphere.

As with all my Park Jam series, I include a standalone lead sheet as well as the keyboard/synth score plus vocal score together in the piano / vocal / guitar set. The lead sheet is also available on its own.

Updates

Lead sheet re-engraved and published as a separate download (15 November 2025)

What’s Included

The vocal line follows the original rhythm as closely as possible, rather than a simplified version that is more common.

The keyboard / synthesizer arrangement includes the strings, bass line (cello for the first verse and chorus, and from verse 2, electric bass) and the saxophone solo.

The keyboard arrangement (published as piano / vocal / guitar) is a 5 page PDF download in A4 format contains a cover page plus both:

a 3 page score of Never Tear Us Apart that includes both the keyboard score plus vocal line and chord symbols
a single page lead sheet with just the vocals and chord symbols

The lead sheet is also available on its own as a 2 page A4 PDF fake book, with the single page lead sheet plus cover page.
