Lyrics

(CN.C.)(Ah.)

(Ah.)

(Ah.)

(Ah.)

You trem bled like you’d seen

a ghost.

And I gave in.

I lack the things you need

the most, you said.

Where have you been?

You wast ed all that sweet ness to run and hide.

I won der why.

(Ooh.)

I re mind you of the days you poured your heart in to.

But you nev er tried.

I’ve fall en from grace, took a blow to my face.

I’ve loved and I’ve lost, I’ve loved and I’ve lost.

Ex plo

(Dm7)sions

on the day you wake up need ing some bod y and you’ve learned

it’s O.

K.

to be (F)a fraid.

But it will nev er be the same.

It will nev er be the (F)same.

You left my soul bleed

ing in the dark

so you could be king.

Ah.

The rules you set are still un told to me and I’ve

lost my faith in ev ’ry (Dm)thing.

The nights you could cope, your in ten tions were gold.

But the moun tains will shake.

I need to know I can still make ex plo

(Dm7)sions

on the day you wake up need ing some bod y and you’ve learned

it’s O.

K.

to be (F)a fraid.

But it will nev er be the same.

And as the floods move in

and your bod y starts to sink I was the last thing on your mind.

I know you bet ter than you (Dm)think.

’Cause it’s sim ple darl ing, I gave you a warn ing.

Now ev ’ry thing you own is fall ing from the sky in piec es.

So watch them fall with you in slow mo tion.

I pray that you will find (Bb)peace of mind and I’ll find you an oth er time.

I’ll

love you an oth er (Gm)time.

Ex plo

Ooh.

Ooh.

About “Explosions”

Can I sing "Explosions" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Explosions" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Bb, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Explosions" by Ellie Goulding in?
The backing track is in Bb at 96 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Explosions" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Explosions"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Explosions", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Explosions" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Explosions"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Explosions"?
"Explosions" was originally performed by Ellie Goulding. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Ellie Goulding are available?

Is there a karaoke version of "Explosions" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Explosions" by Ellie Goulding. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Explosions" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Bb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Explosions" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
