Darling, I'm trying to get better

are important to me
Dm7                           
Darkness gets stuck on my mind 
    F              Cmaj7
and I get blinded
Cmaj7                     
I wish I could get a break
 Am7              Dm7
 so I can rest up

And I could finally see what
 really matters to me

Woke up again

What can I do to get my
   Cmaj7        Fmaj7
 shit together?
Fmaj7                         
I thought the nights were made
      Cmaj7
 for sleeping tight
           Fmaj7
They just blind my sight
       Em7
In my head, a fight
        Dm7b5
Such a waste of time, yeah

How to play Rest Up: key, chords and progression

Rest Up by boy pablo is built around F major (one flat: B♭), with 12 chords in all: Cmaj7, Am7, Dm7, F, Fmaj7, Em7, Fm, C, Bb, G, F#m7 and Dm7b5.

Listen for Cmaj7 – Am7 – Dm7 – F (Vmaj7 – iii7 – vi7 – I in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – mi – lah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F, Fm, Bb, F#m7 and Dm7b5 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
