[Verse 1]
C#maj7     F#madd4
Picture me softly like
   C#maj7    F#madd4
 a ball of wasabi
     C#maj7
Only there to keep things
 F#madd4          C#maj7 F#madd4
interesting, but nobody wants me
      C#maj7    F#madd4
I'm a secret tsunami flooding
 C#maj7   F#madd4
 into the lobby
     C#maj7        F#madd4
As I go to get the keycard,
        C#maj7      F#madd4
 all my vision is blurry

[Chorus]
  C#       G# A#m   F#
I miss you already
  C#       G# A#m   F#
I miss you already
     C#
It's only been an hour,
 G#      A#m          F#
but it turns into a year
      C#       G# A#m   F#
And I miss you already

[Verse 2]
   C#maj7      F#madd4
My insides are heavy as she
 C#maj7        F#madd4
starts to get ready
       C#maj7         F#madd4
You're still a little high, so
          C#maj7       F#madd4
it takes longer than necessary
C#maj7     F#madd4 A#m
We're only friends just
        A#mmaj7 F#
on the surface here
              F#m   C#maj7 F#madd4
What's not to understand?
    A#m         A#mmaj7
She asks me for questions
       C#       F#m
 I've wanted to ask her
         C#maj7    F#madd4
But it's counterproductive
    C#maj7    F#madd4 C#maj7
to truthfully answer

How to play Wasabi: key, chords and progression

These are Wasabi chords by cavetown on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Wasabi by cavetown keeps coming home to D♭ major (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭). You need 8 chords: C#maj7, F#madd4, C#, G#, A#m, F#, A#mmaj7 and F#m.

Listen for C# – G# – A#m – F# (I – V – vi – IV in D♭ major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Cmaj7, Fm, C, G, Am, F, Ammaj7 (57% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
