This is the chord progression of Girlfriend by Bea Miller on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.

[Chorus]
Bb
I don’t wanna be your girlfriend
Dm
I just wanna play with your hair
F
When we get up in the morning
Bb
I’ll be better on my own, I swear

[Verse 1]
Bb
Smoking in bed
Sleeping like the weekend
Dm
And you’re in the kitchen
Why the fuck is you cleaning?
F
‘Cause you’re not my man
Bb
Don’t get too comfortable in my skin, ooh
Bb
I told you before
It’s not what I’m into
Dm
I’m trying to be clear
I’m not sending mixed signals
F
So why you still here?
Bb
Don’t you got somewhere to be? ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
I’m not a part of your plan
I don’t need your love
Dm
I’m not a stranger to your touch
But it’s not enough
Cm
Maybe honesty is missing here
But our bodies say it easier

[Chorus]
Bb
I don’t wanna be your girlfriend
Dm
I just wanna play with your hair
F
When we get up in the morning
Bb
I’ll be better on my own, I swear
Bb
I don’t wanna be your girlfriend
Dm
I just wanna play with your hair
F
I prefer to tell the truth
Bb
But I’m not brave enough to lose what’s already there

[Verse 2]
Bb
You text me all day
Yeah, I get the message
Dm
Nah uh, I can’t hang
Why you get so defensive?
F
And nothing’s gon’ change
Bb
Don’t get your hopes up about me, no, no
Bb
At the same time, when I get lonely
Dm
Drop everything when you see that I’m calling
F
‘Cause just for the night
Bb
I’ll be what you want me to be, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
I’m not a part of your plan
I don’t need your love
Dm
I’m not a stranger to your touch
But it’s not enough
Cm
Maybe honesty is missing here
But our bodies say it easier

[Outro]
Bb Bb Dm F F Bb
