Lyrics

You’re just a small

bump un (Em)born in four months you’re (F)brought to life.

You might be (Am)left with my (Em)hair, but you’ll have your (F)moth er’s eyes.

I’ll hold your bod (Am)y in my hands, be as gen (C)tle as I can, but for now you’re a scan of my un made plans.

Just a small bump, in four months you’re (F)brought to life.

And I’ll whis per (Dm)qui et ly

and give you (F)noth ing but truth.

If you’re not in (Dm)side me,

I’ll put my (F)fu ture in you.

You are my one

and on ly

and you can wrap your fing ers ’round my thumb

and hold me tight.

You are my one

and on ly.

You can wrap your fin gers ’round my thumb

and hold me tight

and you’ll be al right.

’Cause you were just a (Am)small bump, un born for four months, then torn from (C)life.

May be you were (Am)need ed up there but we’re still un a (F)ware as (C)why.

Small Bump by Ed Sheeran — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Small Bump” by Ed Sheeran 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 120 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.
