[Chorus]
F                      
You had it out from the 
 C
moment you met me
Dm                 
Running your mouth,
            Bb
 aren't you tired already?
F                       C
You let me down so I'll let 
you down gently
Dm                    
We could be friends but
         Bb
 you're way too

[Verse 1]
F         C                   
Calculated, you move your lips
               Dm       Bb
and it sounds automated
             F                  
Oh, you're a queen bee with out 
     C                   
the hive, now it's comin' 
      Dm  Bb
to light
F         C                
Two-faced, you sing my songs
                Dm
 but call them overrated
Bb              F          
  Oh, damn, I'm so done with 
          C                  
your lies, no tears fall when 
       Dm Bb  Bbmaj7
you cry

[Pre-Chorus]
                   C      
This is a losing game, and
                          Dm
 frankly I don't wanna play
                                C
Clearly you have somethin' to say, 
then say, say it right now

[Chorus]
F                       C
You had it out from the moment
 you met me
Dm                       
Runnin' your mouth, aren't
      Bb
 you tired already?
F                       C
You let me down so I'll let 
you down gently
Dm                     
We could be friends but
        Bb
 you're way too (Petty)

[Post-Chorus]
F                    C
Petty-etty, petty-etty, 
way too
Dm                   Bb
Petty-etty, petty-etty,
 you're way too
F                    C
Petty-etty, petty-etty
    Dm                 
Oh, we could be friends
            Bb
 but you're way too

[Verse 2]
F         C                     
Hot-headed, one thing goes wrong,
               Dm
 you act like armageddon
Bb           F                C   
  Oh, I keep dodgin' all the mines,
                         Dm
 pretendin' like it's fine
 Bb                       Bbmaj7
(But it's not your fault)

[Pre-Chorus]
                   C     
This is a losing game, and
                           Dm
 frankly I don't wanna play
                                C
Clearly you have somethin' to say, 
then say, say it right now

[Chorus]
F                       C
You had it out from the moment
 you met me
Dm                       
Runnin' your mouth, aren't
      Bb
 you tired already?
F                       C
You let me down so I'll let
 you down gently
Dm                     
We could be friends but
        Bb
 you're way too (Petty)

[Post-Chorus]
F                 C
Petty-etty, petty-etty, way too
Dm                Bb
Petty-etty, petty-etty, 
you're way too
F                 Csus4
Petty-etty, petty-etty
    Dm                  Bb
Oh, we could be friends but 
you're way too

[Bridge]
F                           C
Pretty to be actin' like that
Dm                          
Smilin' in my face all while 
                    Bb
the knife is in my back
               F              
I'll watch you build that house
                             C
 of cards and let it all collapse
                  Dm   
I'll sit back and laugh,
                    Bb
 I'll sit back and laugh

[Chorus]
F                       C
You had it out from the moment
 you met me
Dm                       
Runnin' your mouth, aren't 
      Bb
you tired already?
F                       C
You let me down so I'll let
 you down gently
Dm                     
We could be friends but 
        Bb
you're way too (Petty)

[Post-Chorus]
F                 C
Petty-etty, petty-etty, way too
Dm                Bb
Petty-etty, petty-etty, 
you're way too
F                 Csus4
Petty-etty, petty-etty
    Dm                  Bb
Oh, we could be friends but 
you're way too

How to play Petty: key, chords and progression

These are Petty chords by Freya Skye for Piano and Ukulele.

Petty by Freya Skye is written in F major (one flat: B♭) and moves through 6 chords: F, C, Dm, Bb, Bbmaj7 and Csus4.

The backbone of the song is F – C – Dm – Bb (I – V – vi – IV in F major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
