[Verse]
A
When you were lost in the woods

You were misunderstood

By everyone, everyone

You were searching for words

But they came out absurd
F#m D
And no one heard you, no one heard you

[Pre-chorus]
F#m E D C#m Cm Bm
Speak your mind, they lost the time

[Chorus]

Where’s your heart? Where’s your heart today?

Forgive yourself but don’t give yourself away
Am Dm E E x4

And now you’re out on your own
E
Getting farther from home

And everywhere, everywhere

You see hurting and strife

People cling to your light

But no one sees you, no one sees you

Keep your why, it’s all a lie

How to play Lost In The Woods: key, chords and progression

Lost In The Woods by Gaelynn Lea is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 9 chords: A, E, F#m, D, C#m, Cm, Bm, Am and Dm.

The backbone of the song is A – E – F#m – D (I – V – vi – IV in A 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.

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