[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
1, 2, 3!
A
Take off, last stop
Countdown till we blast open the top
     A
Face first, full charge
Electric hammer to the heart

[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
Clocks move forward
                        A
But we don't get older, no
D
Kept on climbing
Till our stars collided
     A
And all the times we fell behind
    D
Were just the keys to paradise

Cause this is our time, yeah

When all the days felt black and white
      D
Those were the best shades of my life

And even if we hit the ground
We'll still fly

Keep dreaming like we'll live forever

How to play Now Or Never: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Now Or Never by Julie And The Phantoms on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Now Or Never by Julie And The Phantoms sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: A, D, G and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – D – A – G (IV – I – V – IV in D major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes E, A, D, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
