Fm
Are you someone that
                C

It can be hard to tell
     C
 the difference
 late at night

Play fair

Is that a compass
         C
 in your nature?
Or are you tricky

'cause I've been there?

And baby, I don’t need

 hold me close

I tried to see my lovers

 teach you how to
 love me right
Fm
I hope it hits me

like an arrow
                    Fm
Someone with some potential

Is it too much to ask for?

How to play Training Season: key, chords and progression

These are Training Season chords by Dua Lipa on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

To play Training Season by Dua Lipa, think in F minor (four flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭). It takes 3 chords: Fm, C and Bbm.

Listen for C – Fm – C – Bbm (V – i – V – iv in F minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Em, B, Am (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
