Lyrics

(I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.

I.

I.

I.) You stand with your hand on my waist line.

It’s a scene, and we’re out here in plain sight.

I can hear them whis per as they pass by.

It’s a bad sign,

bad sign.

Some thing hap pens when ev ’ry bod y finds out: see the vul tures cir cl ing, dark clouds.

Love’s a frag ile lit tle flame, it could burn out, it could burn out.

’Cause (Am)they got the cag es, (G)they got the box es

and guns.

(Am)They are the hunt ers; (G)we are the fox es,

and we run.

(C)Ba

(G)by,

(Dm)I know plac es we (F)won’t be found, and (C)they’ll

(G)be

(Dm)chas ing their tails try ing to (F)track us down.

’Cause (C)I,

I know (F)plac es we can (C)hide.

I know (F)plac es.

I know plac es.

Lights flash and we’ll run for the fenc es.

Let them say what they want; we won’t hear it.

Loose lips sink ships all the damn time.

Not this time.

(Am)Just grab my hand and (G)don’t ev er drop it,

my love.

(Am)They are the hunt ers; (G)we are the fox es,

and we run.

(C)Ba

(G)by,

(Dm)I know plac es we (F)won’t be found, and (C)they’ll

(G)be

(Dm)chas ing their tails try ing to (F)track us down.

’Cause (C)I,

I know (F)plac es we can (C)hide.

I know (F)plac es.

I know plac es.

Lights flash and we’ll run for the fenc es.

Let them say what they want; we won’t hear it.

Loose lips sink ships all the damn time.

Not this time.

(C)They are the hunt ers; (G)we are the fox es,

and we run.

(C)Just grab my hand and (G)don’t ev er drop it,

my love.

(C)Ba

(G)by,

(Dm)I know plac es we (F)won’t be found, and (C)they’ll

(G)be

(Dm)chas ing their tails try ing to (F)track us down.

’Cause (C)I,

I know (F)plac es we can (C)hide.

I know (F)plac es.

They take their (G)shots but we’re bul let (Dm)proof.

(I know (F)plac es.)

And you know for (G)me it’s al ways (Dm)you.

(I know (F)plac es.)

In the dead of (G)night, your eyes so (Dm)green, (I know (F)plac es.)

and I know for (G)you it’s al ways (Dm)me.

(I know (F)plac es.)

(I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.)

I Know Places by Taylor Swift — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “I Know Places” by Taylor Swift 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 A at 72 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.
