Leave The Pieces — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

Free karaoke for "Leave The Pieces" by The Wreckers: 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 D, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for navigating chords that step outside the home key of D — you'll encounter Bb, C, and F alongside your more familiar D, G, and Em shapes, which means your right hand needs to be ready for some quick positional shifts into flat-side territory.
At 80 BPM the tempo is forgiving, so use that breathing room to land each transition cleanly rather than rushing through.
Your left hand stays grounded in a block bass pattern, which keeps things stable, but watch the move into Bb especially — that's where most students hesitate and break the rhythm.
I'd suggest looping the sections with those Bb and F changes hands-separately first, then layering them together at half speed until the shapes feel automatic.
Pay attention to the sus2 voicings on C and D too; let those open intervals ring with a touch of sustain pedal to capture the song's melancholy quality.
This is the piece that'll really build your confidence moving between diatonic and borrowed chords without flinching — a skill you'll use constantly in pop ballads.
