How to play Lifetime: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Lifetime by Ben&Ben on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Lifetime by Ben&Ben is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 8 chords in all: Bm, Em, Am, G, C, D, Cmaj7 and Amadd9.

The backbone of the song is Bm – Em – Am – D (iii – vi – ii – V in G major). In solfa, that is mi – lah – reh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm and Amadd9 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
