[Intro]
D Em7 Dsus4 D G

[Verse 1]
    D              Em7 Dsus4 D
The days were wide open
                       Em
At the heart of all my joy
C                     Em
Boys were invincible lovers
     C               Em G
Just begging to be destroyed
        D         Em7  Dsus4 D
They're up in the morning
                            Em
Regretfully sobbing and gone
   C                           Em
I’m bathed and going back to bed
         C
This was never any cause
     Em G
for alarm

[Chorus]
       D
Mm, it seems you have
a choice to make
    A7sus4 (x00030)
The shell is white and
 yours to break
  A7sus4 (x02030)
Either way, it's just as well
All I need's a promise
       Em         G
I can keep to myself

D Em7 Dsus4 D G

[Verse 2]
     D                Em7   Dsus4 D
They leave with their lovers
  C                     Em
Oh, talk aloud in their sleep
C                 Em
Driftin’ off into dreaming
C                      Em      G
Never as quiet as they seem to be
  D          Em7     Dsus4 D
I know those mornings
       C                    Em
Are as good as it ever can be
C                         Em
Feelin' our hearts are beatin'
C                      Em G
Tenderly, two against three

[Chorus]
   D
It seems you have a
choice to make
    A7sus4
The shell is white
and yours to break
  A7sus4
Either way, it's just as well
All I need's a promise
       Em7     G
I can keep to myself
D Em7 Dsus4 D Em C Em G

[Outro]
    D       Em7     Dsus4 D
I'm nowhere near you
D                           Em
Nowhere near where I should be
C                      Em
Feelin' our hearts are beatin'
C                     Em7  G
Tenderly, two against three

How to play Two Against Three: key, chords and progression

These are Two Against Three chords by Daisy Jones & The Six on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Two Against Three by Daisy Jones & The Six is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: D, Em7, Dsus4, G, Em, C and A7sus4.

The backbone of the song is D – Em7 – Dsus4 – D (V – vi7 – Vsus4 – V in G major). In solfa, that is soh – lah – soh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
