from the (D)stars.

And I wan na tell you (D)ev ’ry thing, the words I nev er (G)got to say the (Bm)first time a (Em)round.

And I re mem ber (D)ev ’ry thing from when we were the (G)chil dren play ing in (Bm)this fair (Em)ground.

Wish I was there with you now.

If the (Em)whole world was watch ing, I’d still dance with you; drive (G)high ways and by ways to be there with you.

(G)O ver and o ver, the on ly truth:

(Em)Ev ’ry (D)thing comes (G)back to (C)you.

Mm.

I (G)saw ter that you moved I on with some ow one nin’ new.

In the (Em)pub ny that we met, he’s got his arms a round you.

It’s so (C)hard,

from so (D)hard.

And I wan na tell you (D)ev ’ry thing, the words I nev er (G)got to say the (Bm)first time a (Em)round.

And I re mem ber (D)ev ’ry thing from when we were the (G)chil dren play ing in (Bm)this fair (Em)ground.

Wish I was there with you now.

If the (Em)whole world was watch ing, I’d still dance with you; drive (G)high ways and by ways to be there with you.

’Cause if the (Em)Ev ’ry (D)thing comes (G)back to (C)you.

This Town by Niall Horan — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “This Town” by Niall Horan 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 G at 100 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.
