 You're miserable inside

your mind (oh my, oh my)
C#m             A

 I wonder what happened to you
(oh my, oh my)
C#m            A              B
 To make you wanna spin the truth
   E
 (all night, all night)
C#m               A
 You sink your teeth
   B           E  B   C#m
Insult the injury we watch
                 A              B
Your high horse running on the loose

I got you wanna   us
C#m                  A   B

How to play Shut Up: key, chords and progression

These are Shut Up chords by Alan walker & Upsahl on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Shut Up by Alan walker & Upsahl is in the key of C♯ minor (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 4 chords: C#m, A, B and E.

The progression the song keeps returning to is B – C#m – A – B (VII – i – VI – VII in C♯ minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Bm, G, A, D (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
