Lyrics

He (C)left a card, a (G)bar of soap and a (Am)scrub bing brush next (F)to a note that said (C)“Use these (G)down to your bones.”

And be (C)fore I knew I had (G)shin y skin and it (Am)felt eas y be ing clean like him.

I thought (C)this one knows (G)bet ter than I (Am)do.

A tri an gle try’n’ to (F)squeeze through a cir cle.

He tried to cut me so I’d (F)fit.

And (G)does n’t that (G7)sound fa mil iar?

Does n’t that hit too close to home?

Does n’t that make you shiv er, the way things could ’ve gone?

And does n’t it feel pe cu liar when ev ’ry one wants a lit tle more?

So that I do re mem ber to nev er go that far, could you leave me with a scar?

Scar by Foxes — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Scar” by Foxes 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 92 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.
