This is the chords of More by Halsey on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
They told me once, nothing grows
When a house ain’t a home
Is it true, honestly
When it’s all a part of me?
A couple years of waiting rooms
Finding God, and losing too
Wanna scream, but what’s the use?

[Pre-Chorus]
E G#m
Lyin’ awake, and I stare at the door
B E
I just can’t take it no more
E G#m
They told me it’s useless, there’s no hope in store
B E
But somehow I just want you more

[Chorus]
E G#m
I want you more
B E
Somehow, I just want you more
E G#m
I want you more
B E
Somehow, I just want you more

[Verse 2]
E
Wooden floors and little feet
G#m
A flower bud in concrete
B
Feelin’ so incomplete
E
Wonder will we ever meet?
E
And would you know it right away
G#m
How hard I try to see your face?
B E
A little screen, a photograph, mine to take

[Pre-Chorus]
E G#m
I sit and I stare at your clothes in the drawer
B E
I cry and my knuckles get sore
E G#m
‘Cause I still believe it won’t be like before
B E
And now somehow I just want you more

[Chorus]
E G#m
I want you more
B E
Somehow, I just want you more
E G#m
I want you more
B E
Somehow, I just want you more

[Bridge]
E G#m
And when you decide it’s your time to arrive
B E
I’ve loved you for all of my life
E G#m
And nothing could stop me from giving a try
B E
I’ve loved you for all of my life

[Chorus]
E G#m
Loved you more
B E
Somehow, I still love you more
E G#m
Love you more
B E
Somehow, I still love you more

[Outro]
E G#m
(Loved you more)
B E
(Somehow, I still love you more)
E G#m
(Love you more)
B E
(Somehow, I still love you more)

How to play More: key, chords and progression

More by Halsey is centred on E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 3 chords: E, G#m and B.

Most of the song cycles through E – G#m – B – E (I – iii – V – I in E major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – soh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, Em, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
