[Intro]
C   C  Fmaj7  Fmaj7

[Verse]
      C
Your memories won't quit
                      Fmaj7
The ones I'm out here dying
        F
to forget
They ain't let up, not one
 Dm
moment or one bit
And if they're gonna, well,
      G
they haven't done it yet
      G
So I just keep drinking

[Chorus]
   F
I thought that I could
drown 'em
         G
In some magic whiskey
fountain
        C
But the only thing I'm
drowning is me
        F
And if all this climbing
walls
               G
Could lead to somewhere
better off
   C
I wouldn't be so lost in
    F
misery
C       Dm
Oh, believe me
            G
It ain't as easy as I thought
         C
it would be
   C

[Verse]
 C
Same old silly me
Thinking I could finally
 F
set my heart free
The one you tore apart when
Dm
you just had to leave
                   G
And leave me with all these
 Dm
dreams
         G
That'll never come true

[Chorus]
   F
I thought that I could
drown 'em
         G
In some magic whiskey
fountain

But the only thing I'm
drowning is me

And if all this climbing
walls

Could lead to somewhere
better off

It looks like I won't
Get over you

[Chorus]

I thought that I could
drown 'em

Could lead to somewhere
better off
        C
Well I wouldn't be so lost
       F
in misery
       Dm7
Oh, believe me
            G
It ain't as easy as I thought

Aw, believe me
            G
It ain't as easy as I thought

How to play Aint As: key, chords and progression

Aint As by ERNEST is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 9 chords: C, Fmaj7, F, Dm, G, Dm7, G7, Am and D7.

The backbone of the song is F – G – C – F (IV – V – I – IV in C major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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