[Verse 1]
     F#m
Dream slow
I want you to be the one
             A
for me, you know
             D
And when the light inside
                    F#m
your eyes begins to glow
I won't hold you back from
             A
 anything you want to be
  D
I want you to be the one

[Verse 2]
F#m
Speak nice
I had a funeral for us
           A
 and for my life
     D
If I could be the way you
             F#m
wanted me tonight

But I won't hold you
 back from anything
A
I want to give you everything
 D
 you wanted, babe

[Chorus]
B          E               A
 I can see diamonds in the rough
            D             C
I would fly aeroplanes in motion
 for your touch
B           E             F
 Didn't you ever dream of us?
    C                              B
One look in your eyes and it's not me
          E               A
I can see diamonds in the rough
            D             C
I would fly aeroplanes in motion
for your touch
B           E             F
 Didn't you ever dream of us?
    C
One look in your eyes
and it's not me

[Bridge]
F#m
We go colder, the nights flow
            A              D
Feelin' the fantasy of the way
 it could have been
F#m
So I want you to look
 inside my head
    A                 D
And now see me with a candle
 at your table
     F#m
We're peaceful, too quiet
 to mean anything
  A
I want to give you everything
  D
 you want, babe

[Chorus]
B          E               A
 I can see diamonds in the rough
            D             C
I would fly aeroplanes in motion
 for your touch
B           E             F
 Didn't you ever dream of us?
    C                              B
One look in your eyes and it's not me
          E               A
I can see diamonds in the rough
            D             C
I would fly aeroplanes in motion
 for your touch (For your touch)
B           E             F
 Didn't you ever dream of us?
    C
One look in your eyes and
          B  E A D C
 it's not me

[Outro]
                    F#m
We're gonna have to make time

We're gonna have to build
 each other's lives
           D
We're only earth angels
                 F#m
And every day, I want you
                    F#m
We're gonna have to make time

We're gonna have to build
 each other's lives
           D
We're only earth angels
                 F#m
And every day, I want you
(And every day, I want you)
We're gonna have to make time
We're gonna have to build
 each other's lives
We're only earth angels
(We're only earth angels)
                 F#m
And every day, I want you
(And every day, I want you)
                    F#m
We're gonna have to make time
We're gonna have to build
each other's lives
           D
We're only earth angels
                 F#m
And every day, I want you

How to play Aeroplanes: key, chords and progression

These are Aeroplanes chords by Carly Rae Jepsen on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Aeroplanes by Carly Rae Jepsen is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: F#m, A, D, B, E, C and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F#m – A – D – F#m (vii – II – V – vii in G major). In solfa, that is te – reh – soh – te. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, F#m, B and F need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
