[Verse 1]
Am
Eyes closed,
I'm in my own
       Em
little lifeboat
A few hundred
 miles
        F
off the West Coast
C
Wishing I always
    F
had you close
C          G
Drifting beside me
    Am
But I know if it
 were as
          Em
simple as boarding
A flight to you, I
         F
would be soaring
C
You say goodnight,
         F
but it's morning
C         G
Perfectly fine

[Chorus]
      F
But I know
If you came
    C F
here tonight
And I looked in
   C F
your eyes
I would hold
     C Am
you so close
              G
If I ever let go
                C F
I don't think
     C F
I'd survive
Oh, the things
      C F
I would do
Just to be here
   C F
with you
I would scream
     C Am
at the stars
For keeping
    G
us apart

And the
           F
government too


[Verse 2]
Am
Did you know
that the
continent's
Em
sliding?
In ten million
 years,
      F
wе're colliding
   C
At least we won't
           F
havе to be flying
C        G
Isn't it nice
   Am
to imagine?
In twenty years,
we'll all be
Em
laughing
One of our kids
        F
will be asking
C
"Since you both
made
         F
all this happen"


[Chorus]
C           G
How does it feel
        F
to just know?
If you came
    C F
here tonight
And I looked in
   C F
your eyes
I would hold
     C Am
you so close
              G
If I ever let go
I don't think
     C F
I'd survive
Oh, the things
      C F
I would do
Just to be here
   C F
with you
I would scream
     C Am
at the stars
For keeping
    G
us apart
And the
           F
government too


[Bridge]
      Am
Ah-ah-ah
G     F
Ah-ah-ah
      Am
Ah-ah-ah
G     F
Ah-ah-ah
      Am
Ah-ah-ah
G     F
Ah-ah-ah
      Am
Ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]
G
How does it
feel to
     F
just know?
If you came
    C F
here tonight
And I looked
      C F
in your eyes
I would hold
     C Am
you so close
              G
If I ever let go
I don't think
     C F
I'd survive
Oh, the things
      C F
I would do
Just to be
        C F
here with you
I would scream
     C Am
at the stars
For keeping
    G
us apart
And the
           F
government too

How to play And The Government Too: key, chords and progression

And The Government Too by Jeremy Zucker is built around A minor (no sharps or flats), with 5 chords in all: Am, Em, F, C and G.

The backbone of the song is C – F – C – Am (III – VI – III – i in A minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
