May be you’d be hap pi er with some one else.
May be lov ing me’s the (A)rea son you can’t love your self.
Be fore I turn your heart in to a ghost town, show me ev ’ry thing we’ve (A)built so I can tear it all (F)down,

This page shows “Ghost Town” by Benson Boone 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 C at 174 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
This arrangement moves at a brisk 174 BPM, so your first job is to ignore that tempo entirely — start at around 100 BPM and lock in the left-hand chord patterns before you even think about speed. Your left hand will cycle through steady chord shapes rooted in C major, and the trick is keeping those transitions smooth and even, especially when you're moving between chords that share common tones — anchor the fingers that don't need to move. Your right hand carries a vocal melody with some syncopated phrasing that pushes ahead of the beat, so practice it separately until the rhythm feels natural in your body, not just your head. The biggest stumbling point I see students hit is the chorus, where both hands need to lock together with more energy and fuller voicings — loop that section slowly until it's automatic. Use light pedal to connect chords but change it with every new harmony to avoid mud. This is a fantastic song for building your confidence with driving pop rhythms at tempo, and once it clicks, you'll feel the momentum carry you through every section.
