Lyrics

(F#m)I don’t want to wait a ny more, I’m tired of look ing for an swers, take me some place where there’s mu sic and there’s laugh ter.

I don’t know if I’m scared of dy ing but I’m scared of liv (A)ing too fast, too slow, re gret, re morse, hold on, no, no, (F#m)I’ve got ta go.

There’s no start ing o ver and no new be gin (A)nings, time rac es on, just got ta keep on keep ing on.

Got ta keep on go ing, look ing (A)straight out on the road, can’t wor ry ’bout what’s be hind you or what’s com ing for you (F#m)fur ther up the road.

Try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong, I try to keep on keep ing on.

Yeah, I just (E)keep on keep ing on.

I hear a voice (A)call ing, call ing out for (F#m)me,

these shack les I’ve (A)made in an at tempt to be (F#m)free.

Be it for rea son, be it for love,

(D)I (A)won’t (E)take the (Bm)ea (A)sy (F#m)road.

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

woah.

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

I’ve wo ken up in a ho tel room, my wor ries as big as the moon, hav ing no i de a what or where I am.

Some thing good comes with the bad, a song’s nev er just sad, there’s hope, there’s a sil ver lin ing.

Show me my sil ver lin ing,

show me my sil ver lin ing.

I hear your voice (A)call ing, call ing out for (F#m)me,

Be it for rea son, be it for love,

(D)I (A)won’t (E)take the (Bm)ea (A)sy (F#m)road.

I (F#m)won’t take the (A)ea sy road, the (E)ea sy road, the ea sy road,

About “My Silver Lining”

Why does the accompaniment for "My Silver Lining" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "My Silver Lining" by First Aid Kit in?
The backing track is in F# at 102 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 "My Silver Lining" 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 "My Silver Lining"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "My Silver Lining", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "My Silver Lining" 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 "My Silver Lining"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "My Silver Lining"?
"My Silver Lining" was originally performed by First Aid Kit. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
Can I use "My Silver Lining" as a backing track for singing?
Yes — this is the piano accompaniment for My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit, with the chord notes falling visually so you can see exactly when each chord lands. Original key is F#; transpose live to fit your voice.
How is this different from the bar-sheet accompaniment?
Same audio backing — different visualization. Falling notes show each chord note dropping in real time (like Synthesia), which makes the chord rhythm easier to feel. Use whichever view helps you stay on the beat.
