Lyrics

Good morn ing son

I am a bird

You want a Coke?

The roast beef com bo’s on ly nine nine ty five.

It’s (G7)o kay.

you don’t have to pay,

I’ve got all the change.

Ev ’ry bo dy knows it hurts to grow up

and ev ’ry bo dy does.

It’s so weird to be back here.

Let me tell you what the years go on and (C)we’re still fight ing it, (C)we’re still fight ing it.

and you’re

(F6)like me,

Good morn ing son

And I can tell

I knew you’d feel same

And

Good morn ing son

And I can tell

About “Still Fighting It”

Can I sing "Still Fighting It" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "Still Fighting It" by Ben Folds in?
The backing track is in C at 70 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 "Still Fighting It" 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 "Still Fighting It"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Still Fighting It", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.

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 "Still Fighting It" to match my voice or capo?

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.
