Lyrics

I wan na be drunk when I wake up, on the right side of the wrong bed and nev er an ex cuse I made up.

Tell you the truth I did what did n’t kill me, it nev er made me strong er at all.

Love will scar your make up.

Lips sticks to me, so now I may be lean (Em)back there.

I’m sat here wish ing I was so ber.

I know I’ll nev er hold you like

I used to.

But a (Em)house gets cold when you cut the heat ing.

(G)With out you to hold I’ll be freez ing.

Can’t re ly on my heart to beat in (G)’cause you take parts of it ev ’ry eve ning.

(Em)Take words out of my mouth just from breath ing.

Re (G)place with phra ses like “When you leav ing me?” Should I?

Should I?

May be I’ll get (Em)drunk

a (G)gain.

I’ll be (Em)drunk

a (G)gain,

I’ll be (Em)drunk

a (G)gain to feel a lit tle (C)love.

Drunk by Ed Sheeran — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Drunk” by Ed Sheeran 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 96 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

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.
