A
Yeah, we're only human
E
 But that don't mean that
           F#m7
 we can't change
                        Dadd9
I can hurt you, you can hurt me
                          A
But we feel each other's pain
And that's what makes us human
E
 That I could break your
         F#m7
 heart in two
And still love you
                Dadd9
Through all the days we've
Been gettin' through
 E
For both our sake,
          Dadd9
Let's put love back in its place

A                       E
 I won't give up on you, so darlin',
                   F#m7
 don't give up on me
Don't you wanna stay?
           Dadd9
Don't just walk
 away from our memories
A                           E
 And I can't promise nothin'
but the rest of me
      F#m7                 A
I'll fight for you, I'll fight
               Dadd9
 for us, I'll fight to

 And life don't make it easy

You swore you'd never leave me

How to play Never Leave: key, chords and progression

These are Never Leave chords by Bailey Zimmerman on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Never Leave by Bailey Zimmerman is written in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯) and moves through 5 chords: A, E, F#m7, Dadd9 and F#m.

The backbone of the song is Dadd9 – A – E – F#m7 (IVadd9 – I – V – vi7 in A major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, D, Em7, Cadd9, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
