I breathe you, I taste you, I can’t (A5)live with out you.

I just can’t (G5)take an y more, this life of (C5)sol i tude.

I guess that (G5)I’m out the door, and that I’m (C5)done with you.

(D5)(Done with you...) (A5)Done with you.

(D5)(Done with you...)

I feel

like you don’t (A5)want me a round.

I guess I’ll (Gsus2)pack all my things.

Always by Saliva — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Always” by Saliva in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 100 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
