[Verse 1]
Dm
Help me understand it
A/C#
Woke up empty-handed

Never heard you say goodbye
Dm                          A/C#
Do you remember summer said she'd
go forever
                 B7/F#
Then you turn as cold the weather
                    B7       E
And left me here to cry and cry
Tell me

[Chorus]
D               Dm
Why you no love me?

Why you no love me?

Why you no even care?

Why you no love me?

Why you no love me?

Shattered, come to find

Flat out on the floor, oh no

Hurt me once, I let it be

Hurt me twice, you're dead to me

Three times makes you family

Why can't you see I'm yours?
Tell me

How to play Why You No Love Me: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Why You No Love Me by John Mayer on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Why You No Love Me by John Mayer is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 17 chords in all: Dm, A/C#, Am/C, E, Esus4, B7/F#, B7, D, A, F#m, F#7 and Dsus2 and 5 more.

The backbone of the song is E – A – F#7 – D (I – IV – II7 – ♭VII in E major). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: F#m, F#7, F#m7 and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
