Lyrics

(Gm7)I’m the one with (Ebsus2)two left feet, (Bb)stand ing on a (F)lone ly street.

(Gm)I can’t e ven (Eb)walk a straight (Bb)line.

And (Gm7)ev ’ry time You (Ebsus2)look at me, I’m (Bb)spin ning like an (F)au tumn leaf, (Gm)bound to hit (Eb)bot tom some time.

(Ebsus2)Where would I be with out some one to save me, (Fsus)some one who won’t let me (F)fall?

(Bb)You are

ev ’ry thing that I (Gm7)live for,

ev ’ry thing that I (F)can’t be lieve is hap pen ing.

You’re stand ing right in front of me with (Eb)arms wide o pen.

All I know is, ev ’ry day is filled with hope ’cause (Bb)You are

ev ’ry thing that I (Gm7)breathe for,

and I can’t help but (Fsus)breathe You in and breathe a gain, (F)feel ing all this life with in, (Eb)ev ’ry sin gle beat of my heart.

(Gm7)I’m the one with (Ebsus2)big mis takes, (Bb)big re grets and (F)big ger breaks than (Gm)I’d ev er care to con (Bb)fess.

Oh, but (Gm7)You’re the One who (Ebsus2)looks at me and (Bb)sees what I was (F)meant to be, (Gm)more than just a (Eb)beau ti ful (Bb)mess.

(Ab)ev ’ry sin gle beat of my heart.

You’re (Eb)ev ’ry thing (Bb)good in my (Cm7)life,

(Eb)ev ’ry thing (Bb)hon est and (Cm)true,

and (Eb)all of those stars hang ing (Cm)up in the sky could (Ab)nev er shine bright er than (Fsus)You...

are

ev ’ry thing that I (Gm7)live for,

ev ’ry thing that I (F)can’t be lieve is hap pen ing.

You’re stand ing right in front of me with (Eb)arms wide o pen.

All I know is, ev ’ry day is filled with hope ’cause (Bb)You are

ev ’ry thing that I (Gm7)breathe for,

and I can’t help but (Fsus)breathe You in and breathe a gain, (F)feel ing all this life with in, (Eb)ev ’ry sin gle beat of my heart.

(Gm7)You (Ebsus2)are,

oh, (Gm7)You (Ebsus2)are,

Je sus, (Gm7)You (Ebsus2)are,

(Bb)You are (F7)ev ’ry thing.

You Are Everything by Matthew West — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “You Are Everything” by Matthew West 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 Eb at 78 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.
