[Verse 1]
C                 G
What are the odds that
in this timeline
Am
You give me your heart
Fmaj7
And drop and break mine
D7/F#                  G
Looking out for number one,
  E7/G#     Am      G7
aren't we all?
C
Likelihood's high but
     G
I'm here for it anyway
Am
This was bound to happen,
     Fmaj7
if not now, then someday
D7/F#                   G
It was nice calling you babe
E7/G#  Am     C
For awhile

[Chorus]
Fmaj7   G7
Chances are
C                         G
He's probably kissing her like
I used to
Am                   Fmaj7
Probably missin' her like I
          D7/F#
still do every single
  G    E7/G#  Am     G7
day, probably
      C
She's probably telling
     G
him what she told me
Am
Probably telling him
         Fmaj7
 that's he's the only
D7/F#                G
Guy that she'll evеr love,
  E7/G#   Am      C
 probably
         Fmaj7       G7
And I'll never lovе another
                  C
like you, probably

[Verse 2]
C             G
Not gonna lie, at first,
I was surprised
Am              Fmaj7
That falling as hard as
                 D7/F#
I did felt that nice
                    G
But these aches and pains
     E7/G#
 have stayed past their
 Am         G7
 welcome
D9add4           Fmaj7
Nothing's guaranteed
       D9add4        Fmaj7
But we were meant to be
     D9add4
Just leave my heart in pieces
Fm
That's my destiny

[Chorus]
C
He's probably kissing her
 G (open)
 like I used to
Am                   Fmaj7
Probably missin' her like
           D7/F#
I still do every single
  G    E7/G#  Am     G7
 day, probably
      C
She's probably telling
      G
him what she told me
Am
Probably telling him that's
 Fmaj7
he's the only
D7/F#                G
Guy that she'll evеr love,
 E7/G#   Am      G7
 probably
    C
I'm probably better off
 G
 loved than lost
    Am
But probably should've
 Fmaj7
known the cost
   D7/F#             G
Of gambling all of myself
    E7/G#  Am     G7
 on all of you
  C
I probably thought
          G
that you felt the same
     Am               Fmaj7
I'll bet you probably love
the game
     D7/F#              G
Even more than you love me,
 E7/G#  Am      C
 probably
         Fmaj7       G7
And I'll never lovе another
                D9add4  Fmaj7
 like you, probably

How to play Probably: key, chords and progression

These are Probably chords by Hippo Campus on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Probably by Hippo Campus is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 9 chords: C, G, Am, Fmaj7, D7/F#, E7/G#, G7, D9add4 and Fm.

The backbone of the song is Am – Fmaj7 – D7/F# – G (vi – IVmaj7 – II7 – V in C major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – reh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
