[Intro]FCFGGCGFFCFGCGF[Verse 1]FC
When we first met,
your hair
G
was in your eyes
C
Didn’t believe
a word
Am
you said, but I
GF
loved those pretty
lies
Now I’m the kind
C
of person
who acts how
G
I feel
C
And for a moment
in
AmG
time, I know what
F
we had was real
[Verse 2]C
You stay with me
, no, you
G
never really go
C
In the bars out on
Am
Broadway, in
G
the chords of
F
this piano
What a goddamn
C
mess, fate
G
is such a joke
C
But I hope one
day we’ll be
AmG
laughing together
F
or alone
G
Together or alone

[Verse 3]C
Last time I saw you,
you wouldn’t
G
look me in the eye
C
I heard every word
Am
you said,
G
knowing it
F
was real
this time
My friends they
C
will talk in
clichés on
G
being free
C
But the grass
is always
Am
greener when it’s
G
something you
F
can’t see
[Verse 4]C
I hope that you
find what it is
G
you’re looking for
C
I’m just proud
to have
AmG
loved you enough to
F
ask for more
In some other
C
lifetime,
would you pick me
G
out again?
Would I have
C
chosen to
Am
stay and see us
GF
through until
the end?
See us through
G
until the end?

How to play Together Or Alone: key, chords and progression
Together Or Alone by Courtney Marie Andrews is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: F, C, G and Am.
The progression the song keeps returning to is G – F – C – G (V – IV – I – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes C, G, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
