Em7  A  D

[Verse 1]
D             Daug
Sittin' on the bleachers
 Bm/D   Daug
alone
D          Daug
Wonderin’ where
         Bm/D   Daug
it went wrong
D             Daug
The ringin' of bells and
     G           Gm6
 the sound of the tone
Em7      A
I haven't heard
       D
it in years
D             Daug
Walkin’ in the rain past
      Bm/D   Daug
 your home
D            Daug
Feet soakin' wet, four
        Bm/D         Daug
 missed calls on your phone
D             Daug
Light in the window
     G      Gm6
 of where I belong, but
Em7       A          Dm
I see two shadows up there

[Chorus]
                    D

   Daug    D
To fall in love with you
Daug   Bm/D
   Daug   D
To always think of you
 Daug   Bm/D
   Daug   D
To always dream of you
  Daug   Bm/D  Daug
       Em7
Yes it hurts so much
   Gm6
to fall in love with

[Verse 2]
D           Daug
Sorry for leaving
      Bm/D   Daug
 like that
D             Daug
You don't deserve to
     Bm/D        Daug
get caught in my mess
D         Daug
Loving you is just
   G
 so difficult
Gm6     Em7
I don't know how I
        A         D
should tell you that
     D         Daug
I've fallen for somebody
  Bm/D   Daug
 еlse
D            Daug
Happened so quickly
  Bm/D   Daug
 I lost mysеlf
D           Daug
A shadow of you drew
    G          Gm6
 so long by my window
   Em7      A      Dm
Or did I imagine that?

I, I cannot help it

These are This Is How It Feels chords by d4vd, Laufey on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

This Is How It Feels by d4vd, Laufey is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 12 chords: D, Daug, Gmaj7, Gm6, Em7, A, Bm/D, G, Dm, Bm, B7 and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – Daug – Bm/D – Daug (I – I – vi – I in D major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – lah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Daug, Gm6, Bm/D and Bm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
