Lyrics

Don’t (Am7)put your head on my shoul der,

sink me in a riv er of tears.

This could be was the best place yet, but you must (Am7)lost o ver come your fears.

Ooh, in time it could have been (Am7)so much more, the (C)time is pre cious, I know.

In time it could have been (Am7)so much more.

The (C)time has noth ing to show be cause (Am7)time won’t give me time.

And time makes (Am7)lov ers feel like (Bm7)they’ve got some thing real.

But you and me we know they’ve got (Am7)noth ing but time and time won’t (Am7)give me time,

won’t

(Am7)give me time.

Don’t (Am7)make me feel an y cold er,

time is like a clock in my heart.

Touch me, touch was the key too much I felt I (Am7)lost you ver from the start.

Ooh, in time it could have been (Am7)so much more, the (C)time is pre cious, I know.

In time it could have been (Am7)so much more.

The (C)time has noth ing to show be cause (Am7)time won’t give me time.

And time makes (Am7)lov ers feel like (Bm7)they’ve got some thing real.

But you and me we know they’ve got (Am7)noth ing but time and time won’t (Am7)give me time,

won’t

(Am7)give me time.

Don’t

Ooh, in time and you know (Am7)time won’t give me time and time makes (Am7)lov ers feel like (Bm7)they’ve got some thing real.

But (D)you know (Am7)time won’t give me time and time makes (Am7)lov ers feel like (Bm7)they’ve got some thing real.

But (D)you know

Time by Culture Club — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Time” by Culture Club 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 120 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.
