Wherever you are, it’s never as dark
Dm                         C                         F                         B
Whenever I start slipping, you make all the difference
Dm                         C                         F                         B
Been there from the start, no matter how hard
Dm                                                             C
Whatever piece is missing, you know how to fix it

How to play Better With You: key, chords and progression

Better With You by Jesse McCartney is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 5 chords: Dm, C, F, B and Am.

The backbone of the song is Dm – C – F – B (ii – I – IV – VII in C major). In solfa, that is reh – doh – fah – te. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Am, G, C, F#, Em (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
