[Intro]Gmaj7Em
Hmm, hmm
[Verse 1]Gmaj7
Fell in love for
the first time
With a friend,
Em
it's a good sign
Feelin' off when
I feel fine
Am7
Twenty-one took a lifetime
People say I look happy
D7
Just because I got skinny
But the old me is still me
and maybe the real me
Gmaj7
And I think she's pretty
[Chorus]Em
And I still cry
Am7
Cry
Bm7Cm
And you know why
[Verse 2]Gmaj7
Am I acting my age now?
Em
Am I already on the way out?
When I step off the stage,
I'm a bird in a cage
Am7
I'm a dog in a dog pound
And you said I was
your secret
And you didn't get
D7
to keep it
And the internet is hungry
for the meanest kinda funny
And somebody's gotta
Gmaj7
feed it
[Chorus]Em
Oh, do you still cry?
Am7
Still cry?
Bm7CmAm7
Cry
[Bridge]Bm7
I, I nevеr did you wrong
(Never did you wrong)
Am7
And my (Oh), my patiencе
Bm7
is gone (Is gone)
Am7Bm7
And I (I), I never did
you wrong (You)
Am7Bm7
I, I loved you for
so long (Hmm)

How to play Skinny: key, chords and progression
These are Skinny chords by Billie Eilish on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
Skinny by Billie Eilish keeps coming home to A minor (no sharps or flats). You need 9 chords: Gmaj7, Em, Am7, D7, Bm7, Cm, F, C and Em7.
Most of the song cycles through Gmaj7 – Em – Am7 – D7 (VIImaj7 – v – i7 – IV7 in A minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Good to know: Bm7, Cm and F 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.
