[Verse 1]
E
It’s been way too long for me to find it this hard
F#m C#m
Sitting alone my fingers picking the sofa apart
A
An attempt to distract from the fact that I miss you
E
I wonder if your friends have had to carry you home
F#m
And stay for the night because
C#m
They don’t want to leave you alone
A
Way before it was fun, it’s becoming an issue

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                A
I know it’s cruel
E                         B             C#m             A
But I kind of hope you’re tortured too

[Chorus]
E
Tell me does your heart stop
A
At the party when my name drops
Like you’re stood at the platform
C#m
When the trains cross
B
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
E
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
A
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
C#m                                     B
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
E
Or is it just me?

[Verse 2]
E
I heard a rumour you’ve been spending some time
F#m
With that blonde girl that you work with and
C#m
I know she’s exactly your type
A
And my miserable mind’s running wild with the picture
E
Or are you there by yourself, dialing, redialing my number?
F#m                                                             C#m
And I’m calling your mother, spilling tears on my jumper again
A
The way I am

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m             A
I know it’s cruel
E             B             C#m             G#m      A
But I kind of hope you’re tortured too

[Chorus]
E
Tell me does your heart stop
A
At the party when my name drops
Like you’re stood at the platform
C#m
When the trains cross
B
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
E
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
A
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
C#m                                                 B
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
C#m             A
Or is it just me?

[Bridge]
A                    E                                     B
‘Cos this would be one whole lot easier
C#m                                     G#m
God, I know that’s selfish but it’s true
A                E                         B
If underneath some calm exterior
You’re all fked up too

[Chorus]
E
Tell me does your heart stop
A
At the party when my name drops
Like you’re stood at the platform
C#m
When the trains cross
B
Are you hurting, yeah you must be
Or is it just me?
E
Tongue-tied, screaming on the inside
A                                     C#m
When I say that we broke up and they ask why
G#7
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
G#                                     A
With only cigarettes for company?
E                         F#m                         B
Are you crying in the shower like a freak?
E
Or is it just me?

How to play Is It Just Me: key, chords and progression

Is It Just Me by Emily Burns is written in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯) and moves through 8 chords: E, F#m, C#m, A, B, G#m, G#7 and G#.

Listen for E – A – C#m – B (I – IV – vi – V in E major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, Dm, Am, F, G, Em, E7, E (88% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 25% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
