[Intro]
C Em Fmaj7
      Huh-uh, huh-u
C Em Fmaj7
  Huh

[Verse 1]
          C      Em         Fmaj7
I used to float, now I just fall down
          C    Em          Fmaj7
I used to know but I'm not sure now
             C    Em   Fmaj7
What I was made for
            Am    Em   Fmaj7
What was I made for?
         C      Em       Fmaj7
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
             C   Em
Looked so alive, turns out,
      Fmaj7
I'm not real
                   C
Just something you paid
Em   Fmaj7
 for
           Am    Em     Fmaj7
What was I made for?

[Chorus]
   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     Em  F
Someday I might

[Post-Chorus]
C    Em     Fmaj7
Mm, mm-mm, aah-ooh
C      Em       Fmaj7
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[Verse 2]
            C    Em      Fmaj7
When did it end? all the enjoyment
          C    Em
I'm sad again, don't
        Fmaj7
 tell my boyfriend
                   C
It's not what he's made
 Em   Fmaj7
 for
           C   Em   Fmaj7
What was I made for?

[Chorus]
   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     Em  F
Someday I might

[Outro]
C Em Fmaj7

            C  Em       Fmaj7
Think I forgot how to be happy
              C
Something I'm not,
      Em        Fmaj7
but something I can be
            C      Em    Fmaj7
Something I wait for
              Am
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 For chords by Billie Eilish in Barbie 2023 on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

What Was I Made by Billie Eilish keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 7 chords: C, Em, Fmaj7, Am, Dm, G and F.

The backbone of the song is Em – Fmaj7 – C – Em (iii – IVmaj7 – I – iii in C major). In solfa, that is mi – fah – doh – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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