Lyrics

Oh (Em7)no, I (Bm7)see

a spi der web is tan gled up with me.

And I (Em7)lost my head,

and thought of all the stu pid things I’d (G)said.

Oh (Em9)no, what’s (Bm)this?

A spi der web and I’m caught in the mid dle.

So I (Em9)turned to run,

and thought of all the stu pid things I’d (G)done.

Sing ing out, And ah, I nev er meant to cause you trou (Em7)ble.

And ah, I nev er meant to do you wrong.

And ah, well if I ev er caused you trou (Em7)ble,

then oh, no, I nev er meant to do you harm.

They (F#m)spun

a web

(F#m)for

me,

and they (F#m)spun

a web

(F#m)for

me,

and they (F#m)spun

a web

(F#m)for

me.

Trouble by Coldplay — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Trouble” by Coldplay 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 70 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.
