Ah,

No words;

my (Absus4)tears won’t make (Bbm)an y room for ’em, oh, and it don’t hurt

like (Absus4)an y thing I’ve (Bbm)ev er felt be fore.

This is no bro (Db)ken heart, no fa (Absus4)mil iar (Bbm)scars.

This ter ri to ry (Gb)goes un chart ed.

Just me

in a (Absus4)room sunk down (Bbm)in a house in a town, and I don’t breathe,

though I (Absus4)nev er meant to let it (Bbm)get a way from me.

Now I’ve too much (Db)to hold.

Ev ’ry bod y has to get their hands (Bbm)on gold.

And I want un (Db)chart ed.

(Cb)Stuck un der the ceil ing I made, (Gb)I can’t help (Ab)the feel ing I’m go (Db)ing down.

(Bbm)Fol low if you want.

I won’t just (Gb)hang a round like you’ll (Ebm)show me where (Ab7)to go.

I’m al read (Db)y out

(Bbm)of fool proof i deas, so don’t (Gb)ask me how to get (Ebm)start ed.

It’s (Ab7)all un chart ed.

(Absus4)La, la, (Bbm)la, la, ah,

oh.

Each day

I’m (Ab)count ing up the min utes (Bbm)till I get a lone ’cause I can’t stay

in the (Ab)mid dle of it all.

(Bbm)It’s no bod y’s fault, but I’m so (Db)low; nev er knew how much I did n’t (Bbm)know.

Oh, ev ’ry thing is un

chart ed.

I (Cb)know I’m get ting no where when I (Gb)on ly sit (Ab)and stare like I’m go ed.

It’s (Ab7)all un chart ed.

Jump start my ka (F)lei do scope heart.

I (Ab)love to watch the col ors fade.

They may not make sense, but they (F7)sure as hell made me.

I won’t go as a (F)pas sen ger, no, wait ing for the road to be laid.

Though I may be go ing down, I’ll take in flame o ver burn ing out.

Com pare

where you (Absus4)are to where you want to (Bbm)be, and you’ll get no where.

I’m go (Db)ing down.

(Bbm)Fol low if you want.

I won’t just (Gb)hang a round like you’ll (Ebm)show me where (Ab7)to go.

I’m al read (Db)y out

(Bbm)of fool proof i deas, so don’t (Gb)ask me how to get (Ebm)start ed.

It’s (Ab7)all un chart ed.

(Ab)La, la, (Bbm)la, ah.

Uncharted by Sara Bareilles — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Uncharted” by Sara Bareilles 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 Gb at 100 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.
