Lyrics

I’ve been sleep ing with the (Dm)lights on

’cause the dark ness is sur (F)round ing you.

This is my world, this is (Dm)my choice

and you’re the drug that gets me (F)through.

I’ve been wait ing for an (Dm)an swer

be cause I built this bed for (F)two.

I’m just hang ing on your (Dm)an swer.

I’ve built this bed for me and (F)you.

(C)Can’t you see

that (Am)I

am (F)yours?

So (C)will you be

my (Am)life

sup (F)port?

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

Sick of wak ing up in (Dm)dark ness

when the sky is al ways (F)paint ed blue.

There’s a meth od to my (Dm)mad ness.

It’s clear that you don’t have a (F)clue.

I’ve been wait ing for an (Dm)an swer

be cause I built this bed for (F)two.

I’m just hang ing on your (Dm)an swer.

I’ve built this bed for me and (F)you.

(C)Can’t you see

that (Am)I

am (F)yours?

So (C)will you be

my (Am)life

sup (F)port?

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

You’re my life sup port.

(C)Can’t you see

that (Am)I

am (F)yours?

So (C)will you be

my (Am)life

sup (F)port?

This page shows “Life Support” by Sam Smith 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 60 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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.
