[verse]
G
I hear you laughing in the other room
D
Two doors between us, oh it’s morning soon
C
I rolled my eyes to land on
ten past nine
“oh god”, I gave up
G
said goodnight, mmm
G
If I could find the strength of fifty men
D
Maybe i could go back in again
C
I’d shrug my shoulders
I’d shake back my hair
Cm
I’d be the girl
G
Who doesn’t care hmm
C
you’re in a weird mood
G
And I could smell it
E7
why do you bite back
C
Why are you jealous?
C
I couldn’t reach you
G
No, not tonight
D
I’ll try tomorrow
D
I’ll try tomorrow
C
Oh let me look inside
G
Cause under all that fire
D
There’re knots that I can help undo
C
My dear I’m only trying to help you
C
will you soften to me?
G
will you not let me be
D
someone else not getting through
C
My dear I’m only trying
C
My dear I’m only to help you
G
our conversation walks a fine line
D
I search the room for brows that raise like mine
C
I seem to be quite used to heavy words
G
Don’t even know why this still hurts hmm
G
and when i come to you and say my peace
D
don’t give me eyes like this is my problem please
C
folded arms and furrowed brows
Cm G
it’s just too late to admit it now mm
C
you’re in a weird mood
G
And I could smell it
E7
why do you bite back
C
Why are you jealous?
C
I couldn’t reach you
G
No, not tonight
D
I’ll try tomorrow
D
I’ll try tomorrow

How to play Bite Back: key, chords and progression

Bite Back by dodie is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 8 chords in all: G, D, C, Cm, E7, Em, D# and F.

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: Cm, D# and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
