Even If — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
53 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Even If" by MercyMe: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of Bb, 83 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable playing in B♭ major, where your hands need to feel at home on those B♭ and E♭ flats without hesitation.
At 82 BPM the tempo is forgiving, so use that space to focus on smooth left-hand chord transitions — especially the move from Gm to Csus4, where your fingers need to reposition quickly before resolving to C.
That sus4 landing is the emotional engine of the song, so don't rush it.
Your left hand plays block chords throughout, which means evenness and voicing matter more than speed; press each chord cleanly rather than letting one finger lag behind.
I'd suggest learning the verse progression hands-separate first, then layering hands together before tackling the chorus, where the dynamics swell and you'll want to lean into the keys with more weight.
Loop the Gm–C–Dm–B♭ passage until it feels automatic.
This song will genuinely build your confidence moving between minor and major shapes in a flat key — a skill that transfers to dozens of ballads down the road.
