[Verse]
Em
Barely afloat and we’re
   G         C
taking on water
       Em
Still chasing the high that
     G              C
 I felt the whole summer
        Em
Being buried alive with
     F#m
 a smile on my face
    G
A drink in my hand and
    C
 a day to erase

[Chorus]
                    Em
I’m picking up the pieces,
              G
please just look the other
     Am  Bm  C
 way
                    Em
I’m picking up the pieces,
              G
 please just look the
          Am  Bm  C
other way

[Verse]
     Em
I go off the rails every
   G               C
 chance that I’m given
        Em
Is it worth my life if
       G           C
 it means I might fit in?
    Em
I look at the wounds that
      F#m
 I choose to inflict
         G
While I hold my tongue
          C
and I tighten my grip

[Chorus]
                    Em
I’m picking up the pieces,
              G
 please just look the
          Am  Bm  C
other way
                    Em
I’m picking up the pieces,
              G
please just look the
           Am  Bm  C
 other way

[Verse]
            Em
I’m not falling asleep,
            G
 wish my heart would
        C
beat slower
          Em
Thinking back on my year,
        G              C
wanna start it all over
           Em
I wake you up and I tell
         F#m
you I’m losing control
      G
I’m barely surviving,
          C
but I need you to know

                   Em
‘Cause baby I’m afraid I’m
           G
slowly pushing you away
     Am  Bm  C
                    Em
By showing you the deepest,
              G
darkest, weakest part of me
    Am  Bm  C
                        Em
You said you’ll always be
               G
right here to keep me company
   Am  Bm  C
                    Em
When I don’t even love myself
       G
 you love me anyway
     Am  Bm  C
                    Em
When I don’t even love myself
       G
 you love me anyway
    Am  Bm  C

How to play Look The Other Way: key, chords and progression

These are Look The Other Way chords by Beartooth on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Look The Other Way by Beartooth keeps coming home to E minor (one sharp: F♯). You need 6 chords: Em, G, C, F#m, Am and Bm.

Most of the song cycles through C – Em – G – Am (VI – i – III – iv in E minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F#m and Bm are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
