Lyrics

Don’t (Am7)ask me

what you (Fmaj9)know is true,

don’t have to (Dm)tell you

I (F)love your pre cious heart.

(C)I,

I was (C)stand ing,

you were (C)there,

two worlds col (C)li ded

and they could (G6)nev er tear us a part.

We could (Am7)live

for a (Fmaj9)thou sand years,

but if I (Dm)hurt you,

I’d make (F)wine

from your tears,

I (Am7)told you

that (Fmaj9)we could fly

’cos we (Dm)all have wings,

but (F)some of us don’t know why,

I was (C)stand ing,

you were (C)there.

Two worlds col (C)li ded

and they could (G6)nev er,

ev er tear us a part.

Don’t (F)ask me,

you know it’s true,

(C)worlds col (F)li ded,

we’re shin ing (F)through.

Don’t (F)ask me,

you know it’s true,

(C)worlds col (F)li ded,

we’re shin ing (F)through.

About “Never Tear Us Apart”

Can I sing "Never Tear Us Apart" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Never Tear Us Apart" 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 C, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS in?
The backing track is in C at 98 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 "Never Tear Us Apart" 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 "Never Tear Us Apart"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Never Tear Us Apart", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Never Tear Us Apart" 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.

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 "Never Tear Us Apart" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in C, 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 "Never Tear Us Apart" 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.
