[Intro]
C Em F
C Em F

[Verse 1]
          C      Em
I used to float, now
       F
 I just fall down
          C    Em
I used to know but
          F
 I'm not sure now
           C        Em F
What I was made for
           Am        C F
What was I made for?
         C      Em         F
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
           C     Em
Looked so alive, turns out,
     F
 I'm not real
                   C        Em F
Just something you paid for
           Am        G F
What was I made for?

[Chorus]
Em Dm       G
  'Cause I, I
  C          Em     F
I don't know how to feel
      C       Em  F
But I wanna try
  C          Em     F
I don't know how to feel
    C      Em  F
But someday I might
Am      G  F
Someday I might

[Post-Chorus]
C      Em   F
Mm, mm-mm, aah-ooh
      C      Em     F
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[Verse 2]
            C    Em
When did it end? All
       F
 the enjoyment
         C     Em
I'm sad again, don't
         F
 tell my boyfriend
                   C        Em F
It's not what he's made for
           Am       G F
What was I made for?

[Chorus]
Em Dm              G
  'Cause I, 'cause I
  C          Em     F
I don't know how to feel
      C       Em  F
But I wanna try

[Outro]
Em F
           C   Em         F
Think I forgot how to be happy
              C
Something I'm not,
     Em          F
 but something I can be
            C        Em F
Something I wait for
              Am      G F Em Dm
Something I'm made for
              G
Something I'm made for

How to play What Was I Made: key, chords and progression

These are What Was I Made chords by Billie Eilish in Barbie on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

What Was I Made by Barbie keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 6 chords: C, Em, F, Am, G and Dm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – C – Em – F (IV – I – iii – IV in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – mi – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
