Intro
DM7  DM7 Em7 GM7

Verse 1
DM7
Swear I couldn't sleep
awake last night
DM7
No point in turning
off the lights
Em7
Not the same without
 your head on my shoulders
GM7
Growing pains, but
I don't wanna get older
DM7
Almost like we left
 it all on read
DM7
Couple of feelings
that were laid to rest
Em7
Didn't know that the
party was over
GM7
And it's true that
I need you, get clos(G)er

Pre-Chorus
            Gm
Burning photos, had to
             DM7
 learn to let go
           Bm
I used to weep
Em7                    Gm
..Somebody in another skin
(Another skin)

Chorus
DM7
I heard that you're
               DM7
happy without me
           Em7
And I hope it's true
      GM7
(I hope, I hope it's true)
     DM7
It kills me a little,
        DM7
that's okay
                Em7
'Cause I'd die for you
GM7                     DM7
You know I'd still die for you

I hope you're getting
everything you needed

Found the puzzle
piece and feel completed
       Em7
Just wanted you to know every reason

Hope you really know
that I mean that

I couldn't see
the forest from DM7the trees
The only time Em7we speak
        GM7
is in my dreams

How to play Die For You: key, chords and progression

These are Die For You chords by Joji Chords on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Die For You by Joji keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 6 chords: DM7, Em7, GM7, Gm, Bm and DM7.......Em7.......GM7.

The backbone of the song is DM7 – Em7 – GM7 – DM7 (Imaj7 – ii7 – IVmaj7 – Imaj7 in D major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Cmaj7, Dm7, Fmaj7, Fm, Am (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
