Translating piano sheet music into chords? HELP?!?

Q. http://tabnabber.com/view_piano_sheet_music.asp?song=Tokio_Hotel-Rette_Mich.txt&tabID=9542&nick=jadepugetfan&sArtist=tokio+hotel&sName=Rette+Mich I can read sheet music somewhat, but if someone could just translate it into chords for me, that'd be amazing. Thank you!

A. It is easy to do if you know what notes make up the chords. For example, if you see a G in the bass and B and D in the treble, well those are the notes of G major. Sometimes you will see notes in the treble clef that are part of the scale but are not actually part of the chord; look at the bass note. The melody of a song might go E, F, G, and you might just stay in C chord if you just see a C or G or E in the bass.
The music in your link is not chords, just single notes.

Original Question

How do you convert piano chords into sheet music? Is there some sort of program you can use?
Q. I've played for 8 years, but I only know how to read sheet music, and I don't have time to learn to read chords before i play next. Please help??

A. You mean to say that you can't read chord symbols? Like G7 F#m Bb7(#9) etc?

You've been playing 8 years and you can't do that??!?! No offense, but what have you been learning? Getting by for 8 years without a basic understanding of how music is constructed... I just can't understand that. Do you even know how to play your major scales? If not, learn that... NOW! You're way behind.

If you can play your major scales, it's not that hard to understand how chords are made.

This is a chart of chord formulas I made. My first guitar teacher gave me something like this my second lesson, and it gave me a HUGE leg up on my peers. Actually understanding music is crucial to giving a moving performance. Otherwise what you're doing is no different than someone reading a poem in a language they don't speak.

If you play two octaves of any major scale, number each note on the way up (you really only need to go up to 13 though). Then, to play any type of chord, you just play the notes the formula says. SO a major chord is 1 3 5. In C, this would end up being the notes C E and G. Any combination of C E and G is a C major chord. Some of the chords have alterations to a specific note, for example, a dominant 7th chord is 1 3 5 b7. So you would take the normal 7th, and flat it. In C, this would result in C E G and Bb.

Get it? Good.

That chord chart should give you plenty to work with. Seriously though, playing for 8 years and you couldn't play an F7 if somebody asked? There's something wrong with that... I'm not saying that you've failed, but your teachers have definitely failed you.
