In her shad ow is it me you (D)see?
’Cause all that’s left is you and I.
And I’m pick in’ up the piec es she left be hind.
This page shows “Picking Up The Pieces” by Paloma Faith 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 138 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
