This is the Chord Progression of The Broken Hearts by Gnash on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
C#m E
I need emotion Novocaine, I need a numbing of my brain
B A
I need somethin’ to take away the remains of your name
C#m E
I need amnesia for a day and an umbrella for the rain
B A
That hasn’t gone away since you said you didn’t need me

[Pre-Chorus]
A B
Lately been thinkin’ maybe
C#m B
There’s a place we won’t feel so crazy
A B
Been in a hazy mid-morning daydream
C#m B
I found a shady spot that they saved me

[Chorus]
C#m E
They said, “Come be the newest member of the broken hearts club
B A
We hate every little thing about the people that we love
C#m E
We’re the let-down, we’re the lied-to, where the lost go and it finds you
B A
Where the lonely make the lonely feel less lonely, and we’re dyin’ to
C#m E
Invite you to stay, and take away the pain
B A
‘Cause misery loves company, so hey, what do you say?”

[Verse 2]
C#m E
And at first I wasn’t sure if there’s even a cure
B A
For what I’m feelin’, ’cause what I’m feeling’s been feelin’ more and more absurd
C#m E
The repeating in my head of every last word that you said
B A
Feels like ever since you left, you still won’t leave me

[Pre-Chorus]
A B
And lately, been thinkin’ maybe
C#m B
There might be a place we won’t feel so crazy
A B
For changing the way you made me
C#m B
And in a daydream, I let them save me

[Chorus]
C#m E
I’m the newest member of the broken hearts club
B A
We hate every little thing about the people that we love
C#m E
We’re the let-down, we’re the lied-to, where the lost go and it finds you
B A
Where the lonely make the lonely feel less lonely, and we’re dyin’ to
C#m E
Invite you to stay, and take away the pain
B A
‘Cause misery loves company, so hey, what do you say?

[Bridge]
C#m
I guess if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em
B
That’s what they always say
E
Let’s go inside, let’s coincide
A
And I’ll commensurate

[Chorus]
C#m E
Singin’, we’re the newest members of the broken hearts club
B A
We still feel pretty lonely and we wish we didn’t, but
C#m E
We’re the newest members of the broken hearts club
B A
And we all kinda hate it, but it’s easier than lov
C#m E
Singin’, we’re the newest members of the broken hearts club
B A
And we still feel pretty lonely and we wish we didn’t, but
C#m E
We’re the newest members of the broken hearts club
B A
And we all kinda hate it, but it’s easier than love

How to play The Broken Hearts Club: key, chords and progression

The Broken Hearts Club by Gnash sits in C♯ minor (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: C#m, E, B and A.

Most of the song cycles through C#m – E – B – A (i – III – VII – VI in C♯ minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Bm, D, A, G (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
