[Intro]
F Am C F

[Verse 1]
         F                  
Now this might be a mistake 
         Am
that I’m calling you this late
          C                
But these dreams I have of 
                F
you ain’t real enough
        F                     
Started bringing up the past, 
        Am
how the things you love don’t last
     C                 
Even though this isn’t 
                 F
fair for both of us

[Pre-Chorus]
F
  Maybe I’m just a fool
Am
  I still belong with you
C                          F
Anywhere you, anywhere you are, oh

[Chorus]
F                     Am
These minefields that I walk through
C                      F
What I risk to be close to you
F                        Am
These minefields keeping me from you
C                      F
What I risk to be close to you
N.C.     F  Am  C  F
Close to you

[Verse 2]
         F                  
I didn’t notice what I lost 
      Am
until all the lights were off
        C                   
And not knowing what you’re 
         F
up to tortured me
         F                   
Now this might be a mistake, 
              Am
we’re broken in so many ways
          C            
But I’ll piece us back 
             F
together slowly, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
F
  Maybe I’m just a fool
Am
  I still belong with you
C                          F
Anywhere you, anywhere you are

[Chorus]
F                     Am
These minefields that I walk through
C                      F
What I risk to be close to you
F                        Am
These minefields keeping me from you
C                      F
What I risk to be close to you
N.C.     F  Am  C  F
Close to you
         F  Am  C  F
Close to you

[Outro]
         F                  
Now this might be a mistake

that I’m calling you this late
         C                 
But these dreams I have of 
              F

How to play Minefields: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Minefields by Faouzia feat. John Legend on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Minefields by Faouzia feat. John Legend is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 3 chords: F, Am and C.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – Am – C – F (IV – vi – I – IV in C major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – doh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes C, Em, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
