[Intro]
     E
Fuck you and your mom and
     G#
your sister and your job
         C#m
And your broke-ass car and
     A
that shit you call art
     E
Fuck you and your friends
          G#
that I'll never see again
     C#m
Everybody but your dog,
        A
you can all fuck off

[Verse 1]
E                           G#
I swear I meant to mean the best
when it ended
C#m                   A
Even tried to bite my tongue
when you start shit
E                         G#
Now you're textin' all my friends
asking questions
     C#m
They never even liked you
       A
in the first place
E                   G#
Dated a girl that I hate
for the attention
C#m                   A
She only made it two days,
what a connection
E                     G#
It's like you'd do anythin'
for my affection
       C#m
You're goin' all about
          A
it in the worst ways

[Pre-Chorus]
E          G#                   C#m
I was into you, but I'm ovеr it now
    A
And I was tryna be nice
E                     G#
But nothing's getting through,
                   C#m
so lеt me spell it out

How to play Abcdefu: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Abcdefu by GAYLE on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Abcdefu by GAYLE sits in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: E, G#, C#m and A.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, E, Am, F (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
