C
On my pillow

Can’t get me tired

Sharing my fragile truth

That I still hope the door is open

Cuz the window
Em
Opened one time with you and me
Am
Now my forever’s falling down
F
Wondering if you’d want me now

[Chorus]

How could I know

One day I’d wake up feeling more
Am
But I had already reached the shore

Guess we were ships in the night Night, night

We were ships in the night

I wanna ask you If this is all just in my head

If you

How to play Sweet Night: key, chords and progression

Sweet Night by BTS is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 4 chords in all: C, Em, Am and F.

Most of the song cycles through C – Em – Am – F (I – iii – vi – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
