A room full of sad ness,

And on ly me to blame

for ev ’ry sin gle part.

To be loved, but nev er love.

To have, but nev er hold.

It’s a (Bm)life

a (G)lone

and a (D)des

p’rate (A)need

to be (Bm)held,

to be (G)loved.

(D)So (Em)this is gon na take a bit of (G)get ting used to, but I know what’s (Bm)right (D)for (A)you.

Fly (D)high

and let me (F#m)go.

That (D)sky

will save your (F#m)soul.

When you pass (D)by,

and then you’ll (G)know

that (Em)this is gon na take a bit of (G)get ting used to, but I know what’s (Bm)right (D)for (A)you, let me (D)go.

Let Me Go by Gary Barlow — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Let Me Go by Gary Barlow 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 130 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

  • 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.
