[Intro]
Dmaj7 Bm Em A


[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
Picking all the
petals off
      Bm
Every flower that
you come across
Em
Eyes are closed,
your voice is soft
A
Honey, I'm afraid
I'm lost
Dmaj7
Sweep the glass
up off the floor
Bm
Sell the clothes
you never wore
Em
Tell me that
 you wanted more
        A     Bb
Are you sure?

[Chorus]
        Bm
You starfucker,
  A
I loved you
 G
Against my
       D
better judgement
       Em
In the evening,
when you're
leaving
     A
Your promises
have lost
      Bb
their meaning
I was
Bm    A    G#m
 yours before you
     G  Gm
wеre cool


[Instrument]
Dmaj7 Bm Em A

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
Cross the names
 off a list
Bm
Cartiеr around
 your wrist
Em
I was such an
 optimist
    A
But you're a
fucking narcissist
    Dmaj7
The driver's
pulling back
around
    Bm
I'm sorry I'm
so tightly wound
Em
You think you're
so underground
(You think you're
 so underground)
    A
But you're so
much
        Bb
less profound


[Chorus]
        Bm
You starfucker,
  A
I loved you
 G
Against my better
D
judgement
       Em
In the morning,
 without warning
    A
You said your life
    Bb
was boring
     Bm
I was yours
A    G#m
 before you
     G  Gm
were cool


[Instrument]
Dmaj7 Bm Em A Bb
Bm C# D
Em A Bb

[Outro]
        Bm
You starfucker,
  A
I trusted you
 G
Against my better
D
judgement
        Em
Watched the
sunrise,
tears in your
eyes
A
If you'd just
     Bb
apologized, I'd
      Bm A
still be yours
    G#m
for sure
         G
But you're cruel
        Gm    Dmaj7
(You're cruel)

How to play Starfucker: key, chords and progression

Starfucker by Finneas sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 10 chords to play it: Dmaj7, Bm, Em, A, Bb, G, D, G#m, Gm and C#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Dmaj7 – Bm – Em – A (Imaj7 – vi – ii – V in D major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – reh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm, Bb, G#m, Gm and C# need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
