[Intro]
C Fmaj7 Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7

[Verse]
            C
All of the roads
led me to you
             Fmaj7
Stars on the ceiling
 in my living room
             Am7
You're in a white
 dress bumming a cigarette
              Fmaj7
That memory's blue

[Pre-Chorus]
              Am
All of these moments
            Gsus4
 laying in ruins
                Fmaj7
So beautifully broken
               Am
Tear out the pages,
              Gsus4
 nothing is wasted
               Fmaj7
And I wouldn't change it

[Chorus]
                      C
You make everything bloom
Fmaj7
Bloom
                   Am7
Burn my black-and-white world
              Gsus4
 down to the ground
                    Fmaj7
You make everything bloom

[Verse]
                    C
We were falling in love,
 that's so naive
                Fmaj7
My name on your necklace and
your heart on my sleeve
             Am7
Riding the carousel, caring
 'bout nothing else
              Fmaj7
That memory's green

[Pre-Chorus]
              Am
All of these moments
            Gsus4
laying in ruins
                Fmaj7
So beautifully broken
               Am
Tear out the pages,
              Gsus4
 nothing is wasted
               Fmaj7
And I wouldn't change it

[Chorus]
                      C
You make everything bloom
Fmaj7
Bloom
                   Am7
Burn my black-and-white
                    Gsus4
 world down to the ground
                    Fmaj7
You make everything bloom

[Post-Chorus]
C Fmaj7 Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7

[Bridge]
                     Fmaj7
When memories start bleeding
 and words lose their meaning
               Am7
You give me a reason
              Fmaj7
The sweetest reminder,
the fuse to my fire
             Am7
You're all I desire

[Chorus]
                      C
You make everything bloom
Fmaj7
Bloom
                   Am7
Burn my black-and-white
                    Gsus4
world down to the ground
                    Fmaj7
You make everything bloom

[Post-Chorus]
C Fmaj7

[Outro]
                   Am7
Burn my black-and-white
                    Gsus4
world down to the ground
                    Fmaj7  C
You make everything bloom

How to play Bloom: key, chords and progression

These are Bloom chords by Aidan Bissett on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Bloom by Aidan Bissett keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 5 chords: C, Fmaj7, Am7, Gsus4 and Am.

Most of the song cycles through C – Fmaj7 – Am7 – Gsus4 (I – IVmaj7 – vi7 – Vsus4 in C major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
