I can tell by the way that

Now the closer I get to

I can feel myself fallin' all crazy

'Cause just a little kiss and

I could never get you out of my mind

So before you go wreck my whole life

A guy like me alone in

How to play Save Me The Trouble: key, chords and progression

These are Save Me The Trouble chords by Dan + Shay on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Save Me The Trouble by Dan + Shay sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 7 chords to play it: D, Em, G, A, C, Bm and Bb.

Listen for C – G – D – C (IV – I – V – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm and Bb are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
