This is the chord progression of The Omen by Camp Cope on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
Em C Em C

Em
We all sold weed for a while
C
And we’ve all made our mother cry
Em                                                                         C
It’s a habit that I’ve finally broken at this point in my life
Em
And now I’m kinda getting by
C
But sometimes it’s hard to go outside
Em
And I’ve been driving way too much
C
I’ve been too lazy to fix my bike

Em                           G                                        C
Now as long as I close my eyes, I’m by myself
Em                           G                           C
And I’d rather be at home with you than anywhere else

G
And now I’m turning onto your street
C
Now I love you like you never hurt me
Em                                                     G
The planet took a real sharp turn
C
Before all that space in between
G
And I really don’t agree
C
That your merit is buried in your gender normalities
Em                           G                                                     C
And I promise I’ll take care of you if you promise to let me

Em                           G                           C
Now as long as I close my eyes, I’m by myself
Em                           G                                                     C
And I’d rather be alone with you than anybody else

G
And I’ve never needed God
C
I think I kinda knew that all along
Em                                                                               G
To need a promise of heaven to do good deeds
C
Always seemed inherently wrong

G
And so I wrote you this song
C
It probably isn’t as good as all the other sad ones
Em                                                     G                                                     C
And I’ll pass out in your bed after getting too high while you were gone

Em                                                     G
Look at me, it was all for you
C
And it’s about time that you knew
Em                           G                           C
That I’ve loved you since I was seventeen

Em
And for all the things I’ve seen
C
There’s still some wounds that I need to clean
Em                                                     G                                                     C
But let’s move far away from here when I finally get my degree
G
And we’ll live happily
C
Get some rescue dogs in a house by the sea
Em                           G                                                     C
And I promise I’ll take care of you if you promise to let me.
