Lyrics

I was (F)rid in’ shot gun with my (Gm7)hair un done in the (Bb)front seat of his car.

He’s got a (F)one hand feel on the (Gm)steer ing wheel, the (Bb)oth er on my heart.

I look a round, turn the (Gm7)ra di o down.

He says, (Bb)“Ba by, is some thin’ wrong?”

I (F)say, “Noth in’, I was (Gm7)just think in’ how (Bb)we don’t have a (C)song.”

And he says, “Our song is a (Gm7)slam min’ screen door, (Bb)sneak in’ out late, tap pin’ (C)on your win dow, when we’re on the (Gm7)phone and you talk real slow ’cause it’s late and your (C)ma ma don’t (F)know.

Our song is the (Gm7)way you laugh, the (Bb)first date, ‘Man, I did n’t (C)kiss her and I should have.’”

And when I got (C)home, ’fore I said, “A (Gm7)men,” ask in’ God if He

could play it a gain.

I was walk in’ up the (Gm7)front porch steps af ter (Bb)ev ’ry thing that day

had (F)gone all wrong, had been (Gm7)tram pled on and a (Bb)lost and thrown a way.

(F)Got to the hall way, (Gm7)well on my way (Bb)to my lov in’ bed.

I (F)al most did n’t no tice (Gm7)all the ros es (Bb)and the note that said,

(Bb)play it (C)a gain.

Da, da, da, da.

I’ve (Gm)heard ev ’ry al bum, lis tened (Bb)to the ra di o,

wait ed for some thin’ to come (Gm7)a long

that was as (Bb)good as our song.

’Cause our song is a (Gm7)slam min’ screen door, (Bb)sneak in’ out late, tap pin’ (C)on his win dow, when we’re on the phone and he talks real (Bb)slow

’cause it’s (C)late and his ma ma don’t (F)know.

Our song is the (Gm7)way he laughs, the (Bb)first date, “Man, I did n’t (C)kiss him and I should have.”

And when I got (C)home, ’fore I said, “A (Gm7)men,” ask in’ God if he

could play it a gain.

Play it a (F)gain.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, oh,

yeah.

I was (F)rid in’ shot gun with my (Gm7)hair un done in the (Bb)front seat of his car.

I grabbed a pen and an (Gm7)old nap kin and I wrote down our song.

Our Song by Taylor Swift — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Our Song by Taylor Swift 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 Bb at 140 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.
