I used to (C)float,
now I just fall down.
I used to (C)know,
but I’m not sure now what I was made for.
What was I made for?
Tak ing a drive,
I was an i deal.
Looked so a live,
turns out I’m not real, just some thing you paid for.
What was I made for?
’Cause (D)I,
’cause (G)I,
I (C)don’t know how to feel,
but I (C)wan na try.
I (C)don’t know how to feel,
but some day
I might.
Some day I might.
When did it end,
all the en joy ment?
I’m sad a gain.
Don’t tell my boy friend; it’s not what he’s made for.
What was I made for?
’Cause
Think I for got
how to be hap py.
Some thing I’m not,
but some thing I can be.
Some thing I wait for,
some thing I’m made for,
some thing I’m made for.

Easy piano arrangement in the key of C at 78 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.
This arrangement is a great way to develop expressive control at a slow tempo — and slow is deceptively hard, so don't underestimate it.
At 78 BPM in the key of C, your right hand carries a simple but emotionally exposed melody where every note's timing and weight really show, so focus on smooth legato and gentle finger releases rather than just hitting the right keys.
Your left hand will mostly handle sustained chords and broken patterns; pay close attention to transitions where the bass note shifts while upper chord tones stay common — lifting fingers too early will leave audible gaps.
Use the sustain pedal generously but change it cleanly with each chord change to avoid muddy overlap, especially moving into any IV or vi chords.
I'd suggest learning hands separately first, then combining at half speed before bringing it up to tempo.
The biggest stumbling point is rushing through the sparse sections — trust the space between notes.
This is the piece that will teach your hands to breathe dynamically, building real control over soft playing that transfers to everything else you learn.
