Burnin’ out like a cigarette

About why you’re gone

[Chorus]
Bm
I could blame it on the whiskey
G
I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t even miss me
Dsus2
Gave you a million reasons girl not to be with me
A
Shoulda never let you go, shoulda never watched you go
Bm
I could blame it on a good high
G
It’ll take the blame for why you told me goodbye
Dsus2
Instead of missing you and missin’ all those good times
A
Shoulda never let you go, shoulda never watched you go
Dsus2
I could say I never knew
Dsus2
I could drink around the truth
Bm G
But I can’t blame it on you

Tryin’ to ride out the midnight
Dsus2
Tryin’ to fight through the daylight

Wonderin’ where you’re at and just like that
G
I’m lookin’ back on what I had when you were mine
Dsus2
I could go on and on
Dsus2
About why you’re gone

How to play Blame It On You: key, chords and progression

Blame It On You by Jason Aldean is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 6 chords: Dsus2, Bm7, G, Bm, A and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bm – G – Dsus2 – A (vi – IV – Isus2 – V in D major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – 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 Gsus2, Em7, C, Em, D, G (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
