Safe And Sound — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
28 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Safe And Sound" by Capital Cities: 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 C, 115 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended chords like Am7, Dm9, and Fmaj7 — they sound jazzy but sit nicely under your fingers in the key of C, since most use only white keys with small adjustments.
Your left hand drives the feel with an octave bass pattern, so start there: practice jumping cleanly between those octave intervals at a slow tempo until the distances feel automatic, then gradually bring it up toward 115 BPM.
The trickiest transitions tend to be moving between Fmaj7 and Fsus2 (just one note changes, so keep your hand planted) and catching the G6 without hesitating.
I'd suggest looping the verse progression hands-separately first, then combining at about 80 BPM before speeding up.
Watch your rhythm — the upbeat pop groove needs steady eighth-note energy, so avoid dragging during chord switches.
Once this clicks, you'll have real confidence handling seventh and ninth chords in any pop song that comes next.
