Bad Habits — Piano Lead Sheet
21 people have learned this song
"Bad Habits" lead sheet with chords, melody, and lyrics. Play the melody while following chord symbols above. Perfect for sing-along or accompaniment. Key of D, 125 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for syncopated right-hand melody over steady left-hand chords in the key of D.
At 125 BPM, the pulse feels driving but manageable — your real challenge is the off-beat phrasing in the melody, which lands between beats more often than on them.
Start hands-separate and slow the tempo to around 80 BPM so you can internalize where those syncopated notes actually fall.
Your left hand will cycle through a repeating chord pattern, so once you've nailed the shapes and transitions — particularly moving cleanly between B minor and F-sharp minor — lock that in as muscle memory before layering the right hand on top.
When you combine hands, the tendency is to rush the melody to "catch up" with the chords; resist that by counting eighth notes out loud.
A light touch on the sustain pedal, lifted at each chord change, will keep things clean without sounding dry.
This is the song that'll genuinely solidify your comfort with syncopation against a steady bass — a skill you'll use constantly in pop piano.
