(Intro)
Em G

(Verse 1)
        Em
Wide awake, getting half past zero
                 Em               
It's getting heated so I leave the
          G
 windows open (Leave the windows open)
Em
Preoccupied with a late night b-roll
       Em                     G
Right now, laying here alone is 
Heaven (Is Heaven)

(Pre-Chorus)
         Am
And I've been a hero

Helpless
       D
I'm in Hell
         Am
And I've cried
Up and down in these hallways
       D
Blamed myself

(Chorus)
                              C
Bad luck, I don't wanna be home
 at midnight
G                               
  Sun's up, I don't really wanna
           D
   fight the daylight
                    C
I don't care if you moved on
        G                   
I'm not laying in bed with a 
                D
fcked up head
I'm not laying in bed with
 a fcked up

(Verse 2)
Em
  Sundried on the backyard patio
Drunk eyes
                          G
'Cause I didn't give it a home run
Em
  You're hiding on the FM radio
                            
I sing along just to sing my
             G
 thoughts at someone

(Pre-Chorus)
         Am
And I've been a hero
Helpless
       D
I'm in Hell
         Am
And I've cried
Up and down in these hallways
       D
Blamed myself

How to play Daylight: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Daylight by Joji feat. Diplo on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Daylight by Joji is written in E minor (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 5 chords: Em, G, Am, D and C.

The backbone of the song is G – Em – G – Am (III – i – III – iv in E minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
