Lyrics

(F#m7)Here I am stuck on this couch, scroll ing through my notes.

Heart was bro ken,

still not grow in’, no.

(F#m7)Wak in’ up to head lines, filled with (C#m7)dev as ta tion a gain.

My heart is (D)bro ken, but I keep go in’.

Pain, but I won’t let it turn in to

hate.

No, I won’t let it change me.

(F#m7)Nev er los ing sight of the one I keep in side.

Now I know it,

yeah, I know it.

(F#m7)You can’t take my youth a way.

This (C#m7)soul of mine will nev er break.

As (D)long as I wake up to day, (Bm7)you can’t take my youth a way.

(F#m7)You can’t take my youth a way.

This (C#m7)soul of mine will nev er break.

As (D)long as I wake up to day, (Bm7)you can’t take my youth a way.

You can’t take my youth a way.

It’s (F#m7)hard to sleep at night,

(C#m7)know ing what’s out side.

Feel ing hope less,

I need (Bm7)fo cus.

(F#m7)You hit me with words I nev er heard come out your mouth.

To be hon est,

I don’t want it, no.

Pain, but I won’t let it turn in to

hate.

No, I won’t let it change me.

(Bm7)You can’t take my youth a way.

You can’t take my youth a way.

(Can’t (C#m7)take my youth.) You can’t take my youth a way.

Pain, but I won’t let it turn in to

hate.

No, I won’t let it change me.

Pain, but I won’t let it turn in to

hate.

No, I won’t let it change me.

(F#m7)You can’t take my youth a way.

This (C#m7)soul of mine will nev er break.

As (D)long as I wake up to day, (Bm7)you can’t take my youth a way.

(F#m7)You can’t take my youth a way.

This (C#m7)soul of mine will nev er break.

As (D)long as I wake up to day, (Bm7)you can’t take my youth a way.

(F#m7)You can’t take my youth a way.

This (C#m7)soul of mine will nev er break.

As (D)long as I wake up to day, (Bm7)you can’t take my youth a way.

(F#m7)You can’t take my youth a way.

This (C#m7)soul of mine will nev er break.

As (D)long as I wake up to day, (Bm7)you can’t take my youth a way.

(F#m7)You can’t take my youth a way.

This (C#m7)soul of mine will nev er break.

As (D)long as I wake up to day, (Bm7)you can’t take my youth a way.

You can’t take my youth a way.

Youth by Shawn Mendes feat. Khalid — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Youth” by Shawn Mendes feat. Khalid 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 F# 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.
