And e ven if I could, it ’d all be grey.

But your (C)pic ture on (Em)last my the wall, And it re minds me that it’s (Fmaj7)not so bad, it’s not so bad.

And

I drank too (Fmaj7)much last night, got why (Em)bills I to pay.

My head just feels in all.

I missed the bus and there’ll be win (Em)hell dow to day; I’m late for work a gain.

And e ven if I’m there, they ’ll all im ply that I (C)might not on (Em)last my the day.

And then you call me and it’s (Fmaj7)not so bad, it’s not so bad.

And

(C)I

(C7)of my (Fmaj7)life.

And, (C)oh,

Push the door; I’m home at last, and I’m soak ing (F)through and through.

And then you hand ed me a towel,

and all I see is you.

And e ven if my house falls down now, I would n’t have a clue

be cause you’re (Dm7)near me.

And (C)I

This page shows “Thank You by Dido 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 A at 78 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • 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.
