Lyrics

(G)E ven though the mo ment passed me (C)by,

I (Em7)still can’t turn a (C)way.

And (G)All the dreams you nev er thought you’d (C)lose

got you (Em7)tossed a long the (C)way.

(G)Let ters that you (G)nev er meant to (C)send

is (Em7)lost or thrown a (C)way.

(Em7)Now we’re grown up (Dsus)or phans that (C)nev er knew their names.

We (Em7)don’t be long to no one.

That’s a (C)shame.

If (Em7)you could hide in side me, (C)may be for a while,

and (Em7)I won’t tell (Dsus)no one your (C)name.

And I won’t tell ’em your (G)name.

(G)Scars are sou ve nirs you nev er (C)lose,

the (Em7)past is nev er (C)far.

It’s (G)did you lose your self er way out (C)there?

Did you (Em7)get to be a (C)star?

(G)Don’t it make you (G)sad to know that (C)life

is (Em7)more than who you (C)are?

(Em7)Grew up way too (Dsus)fast and there’s (C)noth ing to be lieve.

We (Em7)Re runs all be come our his to (C)ry.

A (Em7)tir ed song keeps play on (C)tir ed ra di o

And I won’t tell ’em your (G)name.

(Em)I won’t (D)tell ’em (Dsus)your (C)name.

Name by Goo Goo Dolls — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Name” by Goo Goo Dolls 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 148 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

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.
