The Grenade by Bruno Mars is quite difficult to play due to the amount of richness it has in its background music. In order to mimic it, you need to feel the important parts of the background music and play it together the with the Melody, or else, the song will sound absolutely plain.
Click HERE to check out my video. You'll need it while reading a printed copy of this tutorial. There are some software to slow down YouTube videos, I'm not so sure. But I guess it helps. Whether it's slow or not, I've seen many people playing from my tutorials. I'm really happy to see them!

Then Straight to Lyrics where the previous Right Hand Parts changes to Left Hand while the current Right Hand plays the Melody
Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss, Had your eyes wide open -
(Left Hand plays the RH Intro Style FDA then ECA. Right Hand plays the Melody)
Why were they open?
(A C# E for Left Hand)
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked, Cause what you don't understand is
(Left Hand dances on D to A, back to D then Bb, then A before moving to Chorus. Right Hand plays the Melody in simple notes)
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh, oh

Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman,

You’ll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car
(Back to Original Dynamics. Right Hand plays the Melody while Left Hand dances on D and A this time)
