[Intro]
F
Ahhh
C     Em
Ahhh, ohhh  x2

[verse one]
C               Em
Can’t shake the feeling
             C
that I’m not alone
          Am
Voices of porcelain
         C
shouting hello
            Em
Down in the closet
plates rattle like
C
stones
                Am
And cleaning up glass
      Em
was a weird
        F
welcome home

[Chorus]
F
Ahhh,
C     Em
Ahhh, ohhh    x2

[verse two]
C          Em
None of my neighbors
             C
seem to have jobs
               Am
And they never park in
their two car
C
garage
           Em
I saw them lurking
            C
around city hall
             Am
Gripping the tracks and
then watching
     F
them fall

[Chorus]
F
Ahh
C      Em
Ahh, ohh

[verse three]
C             Em
Am I gonna be okay if
      C
I die tonight

Shadows creeping up the
Am
hillside feeding on
the light
              Em
Am I gonna be okay if
I never die

Always creeping up the
Am               Em
hillside looking for
       F
the —

[Chorus]
F
Ohh
C      Em
Ahh, ohh

How to play Lost Boys: key, chords and progression

Lost Boys by hey, nothing is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 4 chords in all: F, C, Em and Am.

The backbone of the song is C – Em – C – Am (I – iii – I – vi in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – doh – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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