Lyrics

If (G)you’re not the one for (Em)me,

then how (Bm)come I can bring you to (A)your knees?

If (G)you’re not the one for (Em)me

why do I (Bm)hate the i dea of be (A)ing free?

And if (G)I’m not the one for (Em)you,

you’ve got to stop (Bm)hold ing me the way you do.

Oh, hon ey, if (G)I’m not the one for (Em)you,

why have we (Bm)been through what we have been through?

It’s so (G)cold

out here

in your (Bm)wild

er ness,

I want (G)you to be my keep er,

but (Bm)not if you are so reck less.

If you’re gon na (D)let me down, let me down gent ly, (Em)don’t pre tend that you don’t want me, (Bm)our love ain’t wa ter un der the (G)bridge.

If you’re gon na (D)let me down, let me down gent ly, (Em)don’t pre tend that you don’t want me, (Bm)our love ain’t wa ter un der the (G)bridge.

Whoa.

Say that (Bm)our love ain’t wa ter un der the (G)bridge.

Whoa.

Say that (Bm)our love ain’t wa ter un der the (G)bridge.

Water Under The Bridge by Adele — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Water Under The Bridge” by Adele 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 D at 90 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.
