Lyrics

(Em)I don’t like (C)walk in’ a round this (G)old and emp ty house So (Em)hold my hand, I’ll (C)walk with you my (G)dear.

The (Em)stairs creak (C)as you sleep; it’s (G)keep ing me a wake.

It’s the (Em)house tell ing (C)you to close your (G)eyes.

And (Em)some days (C)I can’t e ven trust my self.

It’s (Em)kill ing me to (C)see you this way.

’Cause though the (Em)truth may (C)va ry, this ship will (D)car ry our (Em)bod ies (C)safe to the shore.

Hey!

Don’t (Em)lis ten to a (C)word I say.

(D)Hey!

The (Em)screams all (C)sound the same.

(D)Hey!

Al though the (Em)truth may (C)va ry, this ship will (D)car ry our (Em)bod ies (C)safe to the shore.

(D)Hey!

(D)Hey!

This page shows “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men 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 104 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

  • 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.
