Lyrics

(D)Some times, I (A)feel like I’m go ing out of (Bm)my mind.

(G)Boy, the way you do me, it’s a

crime.

(A)Then you smile at me and it’s (Bm)al right.

With (G)you there ain’t no in be tween.

Ev ’ry time that I walk out the door,

tell my self I won’t take it no more.

There’s a part of me won’t let you go,

(Em)keeps say ing yes when my mind’s say ing no.

(G)Me and my heart, we got is (D)sues,

don’t (A)know if I should hate you or miss (Bm)you.

(G)Damn, I wish that I could re sist (D)you,

can’t de (A)cide if I should leave you or kiss (Bm)you.

(G)Me and my heart, we got is (D)sues, is sues, is sues.

We got is (Bm)sues, is sues, is sues.

Issues by Julia Michaels — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Issues” by Julia Michaels 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 D at 110 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.
