[Intro]
Cm7

[Verse 1]
             Cm7
All I see is squares
                      Cm7
Ones and zeros in the air
               Cm7
Not sure how I got here
           Cm7
Is anybody there?

[Interlude]
Cm7 Am7 Fm7 G
Fm7 G Cm7

[Verse 2]
                          Cm7
Something draws me to the tree
                       Cm7
Compelled to punch the blocks
                   Am7
Somehow it doesn't hurt me
                    Cm7
I'm stronger than I thought

before the sun is gone

Punch a two by one tunnel

in the ground

Make a couple doors

with the wood I found

How to play Squares: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Squares by cavetown on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Squares by cavetown is built around C minor (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭), with 10 chords in all: Cm7, Am7, Fm7, G, Abm, Gbm, Fm6, Em7, F and Dm.

Most of the song cycles through G – Fm7 – G – Cm7 (V – iv7 – V – i7 in C minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, Cm7, Fm7, Abm, Gbm and Fm6 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
