[Verse 1]
       C/G
5th of November
                  Em
When I walked you home
            Am
That’s when I nearly said i
But then said “Forget it",
 F
 and froze
       C/G
Do you remember?
            Em
You probably don’t
            Am
‘Cause the sparks in the sky
Took a hold of your eyes
        F     G
while we spoke

[Pre-Chorus]
C
Yesterday, drank way too much
           Am
And stayed up too late
           Dm
Started to write but I wanna say
Dm7
“Deleted the message”
F                         G
But I still remember it said

[Chorus]
  C
I wish I was who you
drunk texted at
  Em
midnight, Wish
 I was the reason you
  Dm
stay up till 3 And you
can’t fall asleep
  F                G7
Waiting for me to reply
  C
I wish I was more than
just someone you
  Em
walk by Wish I wasn’t
scared to be
  Dm
honest and open Instead
of just hoping
  F
You’d feel what I’m
         Fm
 feeling inside

[Verse 2]
          C/G
April the 7th
                Em
And nothing has changed
     Am
It’s hard to get by
When you’re still on
         F
my mind every day
            C/G
Sometimes I question
                Em
If you feel the same?

     Am
Do we make stupid jokes?
Tryna hide that we’re
          F         G
 both too afraid to say

[Chorus]
  C
I wish I was who you
drunk texted at
  Em
midnight, Wish I was
the reason you
  Dm
stay up till 3 And you
can’t fall asleep
  F                G7
Waiting for me to reply
  C
I wish I was more than
 just someone you
  Em
walk by Wish I wasn’t
 scared to be
  Dm
honest and open Instead
 of just hoping
  F
You’d feel what
             Fm
I’m feeling inside

[Verse 3]
Dm
Oh, and here we go again
G7
Destroying myself to
keep a friend
Em
Hiding away ’cause
                        F
I was afraid you’d say no
Dm
I wonder if I cross your mind
G
Half as much as you do mine
C
If I tell you the truth
Em
What will I lose?
F           Fm^
I don’t know

C
I wish I’d sent you
that drunk text that
Em
midnight I was just
 scared it would
Dm
ruin our friendship
But I really meant it
F                      Fm
I wonder how you would reply

How to play Drunk Text: key, chords and progression

These are Drunk Text chords by Henry Moodie on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Drunk Text by Henry Moodie is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 11 chords: C/G, Em, Am, F, G, C, Dm, Dm7, G7, Fm and Fm^.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Em – Dm – F (I – iii – ii – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – reh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F, Fm and Fm^ are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
