[Intro]
E
A           E
One million little bandaids

[Verse 1]
E                        A
When I was a child I was frozen
      E
 as a stone
Scared to take a risk and fail,
  A          E
 even in my home
I didn't know what to do
         A
 with my sensitivity
E         B
So I just buried it down
              E
 six feet deep

[Pre-Chorus]
        A                      E
And the worst kinda hurt is to fail
                   B  C#m
 but not understand
E         A
Yeah, the worst kinda hurt is
    E                         B
 to think it’s out of your hands
B
Baby, we got bigger plans

[Chorus]
       A
Let it hurt
       E
Let it bleed
       B               C#m
Let it be the fuel you need
            A
To tell the truth
            E
I know it's hard
                   B
But it's harder to cover
         E
 up your heart
     A           E
With one million little bandaids

[Verse 2]
E                    A
Honesty is as oxygen to a
         E
seeking soul
Freedom that I’m craving is
    A              E
at war with my control

And every judgement builds an
     A             E
arsenal around my heart
        B
And now where I sleep
it's cold and dark

[Pre-Chorus]
        A
And the worst kinda hurt is to
 E                    B    C#m
 feel but not undеrstand (Mhh)
          A
Yeah, the worst kinda hurt is
    E                        B
 to think it's out of your hands
B
Baby, we got biggеr plans

[Chorus]
       A
Let it hurt
       E
Let it bleed
       B               C#m
Let it be the fuel you need
        A                 E
Let the sunlight see your scars
                  B               C#m
Who told you that it was brave to live
              A   E
With a lonely heart
              B
With a lonely heart
              C#m   A
With a lonely heart
              A   E
With a lonely heart
              B
With a lonely heart

[Bridge]
C#m  A  E  B  C#m  A  E  B
C#m  A  E  B  C#m
  Mhh

          E
a lonely heart

I know it’s hard

But it’s harder to cover
         E
 up your heart
     A           E

How to play Million Little Bandaids: key, chords and progression

These are Million Little Bandaids chords by Caroline Jones feat. Zac Brown Band on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Million Little Bandaids by Caroline Jones is in the key of E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 4 chords: E, A, B and C#m.

The backbone of the song is A – E – B – C#m (IV – I – V – vi in E major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, G, A, Bm (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
