Ba by real ly (G)hurt me, cry ing in the (Bm)tax i.

He don’t wan na (Em)know me, says he made the big mis (D)take of danc ing in my (C)storm,

says it was (Am)poi

So I guess I’ll go (G)home, in to the (Bm)arms of the girl that I (Em)love, the on ly love I (D)have n’t screwed up.

She’s so hard to (Em)please, but she’s a (Am)for est fire.

I do my (G)best to meet her de mands, (Bm)play at ro mance, we slow (Em)dance in the liv ing room, but (D)all that a stran ger would (C)see is one (Em)girl sway ing a (Am)lone, strok ing her (D)cheek.

They (G)say,

“You’re a (Bm)lit tle much for (Em)me,

you’re a (D)li a bil i (C)ty.

You’re a (Em)lit tle much for (Am)me.”

So they pull (G)back, make oth er (Bm)plans.

I un der (Em)stand;

I’m a (D)li a bil i (C)ty;

get you (Em)wild, make you (Am)leave.

I’m a (D)lit tle much for (Em)eh, ah na na na, (D)ev

’ry (C)one.

The truth (G)is, I am a (Bm)toy that peo ple en (Em)joy till all of the (D)tricks don’t work an y (C)more,

and then they are (Am)bored

of (D)me.

I know that it’s ex (G)cit ing run ning through the (Bm)night, but ev ’ry per fect (Em)sum mer’s eat ing me a (D)live un til you’re (C)gone.

Bet ter (Am)on

my (D)own.

They (C)one.

They’re gon na (Em)watch me dis ap (D)pear in to the (C)sun.

You’re all gon na (Em)watch me dis ap (D)pear in to the (C)sun.

Liability by Lorde — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Liability by Lorde 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 G at 70 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.
