Fell in love for the first time.
With a friend, it’s a good sign.
Feel in’ off when I feel fine,
twen ty one took a life time.
Peo ple say I look hap py
just be cause I got skin ny.
But the old me is still me, and may be the real me, and I think she’s pret ty.
And I still (F#)cry,
(B)cry,
and you know why.
Am I act ing my age now?
Am I al read y on the way out?
When I stage, I’m a bird in a cage, I’m a dog in a dog pound.
And you said I was your se cret,
and you did n’t get to keep it.
And the in ter net is hun gry for the mean est, kind of fun ny, and some bod y’s got ta feed it.
Oh.
Do you still (F#)cry,
still (B)cry,
cry?
I
nev er did you wrong.
My,
(C)is gone,
and I,
I nev er did you wrong.
I,
I loved you (C#)for so long.

This arrangement sits in the key of A at a gentle 68 BPM, which means every note has room to breathe — and nowhere to hide. Your right hand will carry a lyrical melody that relies on smooth legato phrasing, so focus on connecting each note evenly without accenting the transitions. Your left hand works through spread chord shapes and steady, arpeggiated patterns that stretch across the octave, so get comfortable with those wider intervals early. Start hands-separate: let your left hand memorize the chord voicings until the jumps feel automatic, then layer the melody on top. The trickiest spots tend to be where the rhythm subtly syncopates against the left hand's pulse — slow those measures down to half tempo and count aloud until the two hands lock in naturally. Watch your sustain pedal, too; at this tempo it's tempting to over-pedal, but cleaner changes on each chord shift will keep the harmonies from muddying together. This is the kind of piece that will genuinely strengthen your dynamic control and hand independence in a musical, satisfying way.
