Lyrics
Ev ’ry night I sit here by my win dow
(win dow), and star ing at the lone ly av e (C7)nue (av e nue),
When (F)watch ing lov ing ers a hold ing hands and (Bb)laugh ing
(laugh ing), and I’m (F)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.
(Think ing of (C7)things)
like a walk in the park,
(F)(things)
like a kiss in the dark,
(C7)(things)
like a sail boat ride.
(Yeah, yeah.) What a bout the night we (F7)cried?
(Bb)Things
like a lov er’s vow, (F)things
that we don’t (C7)do (F)now, (Gm7)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.
Mem o ries are all I have to cling to
(cling to), and heart aches are the friends I’m talk ing (C7)to (talk ing to).
When (F)I’m not lov ing of a just how much I (Bb)love you
(love you), well, I’m (F)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.
(Think ing of (C7)things)
like a walk in the park,
(F)(things)
like a kiss in the dark,
(C7)(things)
like a sail boat ride.
(Yeah, yeah.) What a bout the night we (F7)cried?
(Bb)Things
like a lov er’s vow, (F)things
that we don’t (C7)do (F)now, (Gm7)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.
(F)do.
I still can hear the juke box soft ly play ing
(play ing), and the face I see each day be longs to (C7)you (be longs to you).
Though there’s (F)not a sin gle sound and there’s no (Bb)bod y else a round,
well, there’s a (F)just me think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.
(Think ing of (F)do.
And the (Gm7)heart aches are the (C7)friends I’m talk ing (F)to.
You got me (Gm7)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.
You got me
(Gm7)Star ing at the (C7)lone ly av e (F)nue.

- Is there a karaoke version of "Things" with lyrics?
- Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Things" by Bobby Darin. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
- 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 "Things" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in F, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
- Can I slow "Things" down to learn the words and chords?
- 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.
