D G Bm A D

[Verse 1]
D
Something about the way that you walked into my living room
G
Casually and confident lookin’ at the mess I am
Bm A D
But still you, still you want me
D
Stress lines and cigarettes, politics and deficits
G
Late bills and overages, screamin’ and hollerin’
Bm A D
But still you, still you want me

[Chorus]
D G
Oh, I always let you down
Bm
You’re shattered on the ground
A
But still I find you there
D
Next to me
D G
And oh, stupid things I do
Bm
I’m far from good, it’s true
A
But still I find you
D
Next to me (next to me)

[Verse 2]
D
There’s something about the way that you always see the pretty view
G
Overlook the blooded mess, always lookin’ effortless
Bm A D
And still you, still you want me
D
I got no innocence, faith ain’t no privilege
G
I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts
Bm A D
And still you, still you want me

[Bridge]
D G
So thank you for taking a chance on me
Bm A
I know it isn’t easy
D
But I hope to be worth it (oh)
D G
So thank you for taking a chance on me
Bm A
I know it isn’t easy
D
But I hope to be worth it (oh)

Next To Me by Imagine Dragons is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 4 chords: D, G, Bm and A.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – G – Bm – A (I – IV – vi – V in D major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, C, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
