However many English songs sometimes sacrifice grammar for smooth rhyme. Q You can teach grammar with songs in many ways. A great exercise with music is completing the blanks as students listen and choose the correct words from two words than rhyme, for example cry and try.

Am E I want it that way Am now I can see G that were falling apart F from the way that it used Dm G to be. F tell me why G C I never wanna hear you say. They can start discussions on a topic or even become the centre of debate. (Chorus) F tell me why G Am aint nothin but a heartache.
