[Intro]
F C G Am Em F C

[Verse 1]
Were you ever taught when 
    F           C
you were young
           G            
If you mess with things 
         Am
selfishly, they're bound 
to come undone?
 Em                F C
I'm not the only one
That's been affected and 
resented every story 
you've spun
             F      C
And I'm a lucky one
               G        
'Cause there are people 
            Am
worse off that have 
suffered enough
                    Em
Haven't they suffered 
        F C
enough?
But you can't get 
enough of
    F             C
Shuttin' down systеms 
for personal gain
          G        
Fightin' fires with 
  Am
flyers and prayin' for 
rain
Em              F       C
Do you gеt off on pain?
We're not pawns in your 
game

[Chorus]
               F        C
Commander in Chief, honestly
G                    Am
If I did the things you do
              F       Am
I couldn't sleep, seriously
G
Do you even know the truth?
             F       C
We're in a state of crisis, 
people are dyin'
      G             
While you line your 
     Am
pockets deep
              F         
Commander in Chief, how 
      Am             G
does it feel to still
Be able to breathe?
F C G Am

[Verse 2]
                      F
We were taught when we 
          C
were young
            G                 
If we fight for what's right, 
Am
there won't be justice 
for just some
   Em                    
Won't give up, stand our 
     F  C
ground
We'll be in the streets 
while you're bunkering down
   Em                F   C
Loud and proud, best believe
We'll still take a knee 
while you're

[Chorus]
                F          C
Commander in Chief, honestly
G                    Am
If I did the things you do
             F       Am
I couldn't sleep, seriously
 G
Do you even know the truth?
              F       C
We're in a state of crisis, 
people are dyin'
       G                  Am
While you line your pockets deep
              F              
Commander in Chief, how does 
Am              G
it feel to still
              F    C     G Am
Be able to breathe, breathe?
                Em F C
Be able to breathe

How to play Commander In Chief: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Commander In Chief by Demi Lovato on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Commander In Chief by Demi Lovato sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 5 chords to play it: F, C, G, Am and Em.

Listen for F – C – G – Am (IV – I – V – vi in C major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
