And it’s (E)cra zy to think that (B)one lit tle thing could a (C#m)changed me all of (A)it.

I (F#)May be it did n’t turn out like I planned.

But (F#)May be that’s why I’m such,

it (A)such a luck y man.

For ev (A)’ry stop light I did n’t make, ev ’ry chance (B)I did or I did n’t take.

All (A)the nights I went too far, all (B)the girls that broke my heart.

All (A)the doors that I had to close, all the things (B)I knew but I did n’t know.

Thank God for all I missed

’cause it (B7)led (CN.C.)me here to this.

So (B)noth in’s a mis take.

This by Darius Rucker — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “This by Darius Rucker 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 E at 200 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

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.
