This is the chords of Rager Teenager by Troye Sivan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Rager Teenager by Troye Sivan keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 7 chords: C, G, Em, F#m, Dm, D and F.

The backbone of the song is C – G – D – F (I – V – II – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – reh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, F#m and F need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
