Lyrics

Al though (Am)lone li ness has al ways been a (F)friend of mine,

I’m (G)leav ing my life in your hands.

(Am)Peo ple say I’m cra zy and that (F)I am blind

(G)risk ing it all in a glance.

(Am)How you got me blind is still a (F)mys ter y,

I (G)can’t get you out of my head.

(Am)Don’t care what is writ ten in your (F)his to ry

as (G)long as you’re here with me.

I don’t care who you are,

where you’re from,

what you did, as long as you (G)love me.

Who you are, where you’re from, don’t care what you did, as long as you (G)love me.

(Am)Ev ’ry lit tle thing that you have (F)said and done I (G)feels like it’s deep with in me.

(Am)Does n’t real ly mat ter if you’re (F)on the run, it (G)seems like we’re meant to be.

I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you did, as long as you (G)love me.

Who you are, where you’re from, don’t care what you did, as long as you (G)love me.

you’re from, don’t care what you did, as long as you love me.

As long as you (G)love me.

As long as you (E7)love me.

I’ve tried to hide it so that (G)no one knows, but I guess (F)it shows

when you look in (G)to my eyes.

What you did and where you’re (C)com ing from, I don’t care,

as long as you love me, ba (F)by.

I (G)don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you did, as long as you (G)love me.

Who you are, where you’re from, don’t care what you did, as (Dm)long as you love me.

Who you are,

what you did, as (G)long as you love me.

Who you are,

where you’re from,

as (Dm)long as you love me.

Who you are, as (Dm)long as you love me.

What you did, I don’t care, as long as (G)you love me.

This page shows “As Long As You Love Me by Backstreet Boys 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.

  • 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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for moving confidently through a wider chord palette — nine chords in the key of C means your hands won't sit still for long. Your left hand plays block-style bass, so keep those root notes steady and even; they're your anchor at 100 BPM. The trickiest transitions will be the moves into E7 and Esus4, where your right hand has to briefly leave familiar C-major territory, and especially the F#m7, which sneaks in a black key — isolate that chord change and loop it slowly until the shape feels automatic under your fingers. I'd suggest learning hands separately first, locking in the left-hand bass pattern until it's effortless, then layering the right hand on top. Watch out for rushing through the Gsus4-to-G resolution; let that suspension breathe for its full beat before releasing. Once you're comfortable, try playing along at around 80 BPM and gradually nudge the tempo up. This is the kind of song that really cements smooth chord-to-chord movement with suspended and dominant shapes — once these transitions feel natural here, you'll find them popping up everywhere in pop music.
