You keep me (C)with out (F)chains.

I nev er want ed an y (G7)thing so much than to (C)drown in your love and not feel (Fmaj9)your rain.

Set (Dm7)me free,

Here (Dm7)I am

and I (G)stand so

(C)tall, just (G)the way I’m sup posed to (Am)be.

But you’re (F)on to me

Gravity by Sara Bareilles — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Gravity by Sara Bareilles 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 100 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.
