[Verse 1]
C                    Am
XO, do you ever miss me?
                             Em
You chose brand new over history

That's cold, guess we’re 50/50
 G
Don't you wish I was your
             C
 girlfriend still?
                              Am
Tough luck, we were in a bad place
                      Em
  up, made a couple tapes

All love, whenever I hear your name

[Pre-Chorus]
 G
Don't you wish it worked out
             C
and we were on again?
      Am
’Cause I still feel you right
             Em
here every now and then
        G
And it hits me like a
                C
missile in my heart again
           Am
Don't you start again
       Em
In my heart again

[Chorus]
Honestly, all I wanna know,
                C
why does it sting?
                            Am
Why am I still hung up on things?
                                Em
Are you gonna give the diamond ring
 that's meant for me to her?
            G               C
Or maybe I like the way it sting
                               Am
It's all I got left of you and me
                            Em
Rather it keep on cutting deeper,
show what we were worth

(I always thought that we were)

[Verse 2]
C                     Am
Hello, do you ever rewind?
                               Em
I've been hurtin' from the goodbye
                        G
Feelings, do they ever die?

[Pre-Chorus]
                C
I wish we were on again
       Am
'Cause I still feel you right
             Em
here every now and then
         G
And it hits me like a
                 C
missile in my heart again
           Am
Don't you start again
       Em
In my heart again

[Chorus]
Honestly, all I wanna know,
                C
 why does it sting?
                            Am
Why am I still hung up on things?
                                Em
Are you gonna give the diamond ring
 that's meant for me to her?
            G               C
Or maybe I like the way it sting
                               Am
It's all I got left of you and me
                            Em
Rather it keep on cutting deeper,
show what we were worth

[Post-Chorus]
          G
How much longer will
      C     Am   Em
 it sting?
          G               C
How much longer will it sting?
 Am   Em   G

[Bridge]
        C
Time's relative

We could start clean,
                   Am
with no hard feelings between us
              Em                 G
Could we ever be? Could we ever be?
          C
Tell me what if we could go back
                  Am
 and take it all back
                            Em
Would you ever do that with me?
               G
 Do that with me?

[Chorus]
Honestly, all I wanna know,
                C
why does it sting?
                            Am
Why am I still hung up on things?

                                Em
Are you gonna give the diamond ring
that's meant for me to her?
            G               C
Or maybe I like the way it sting
                               Am
It's all I got left of you and me
                            Em
Rather it keep on cutting deeper,
 show what we were worth

How to play Sting: key, chords and progression

Sting by FLETCHER is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: C, Am, Em and G.

Most of the song cycles through C – Am – Em – G (I – vi – iii – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – mi – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

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