This is the chord progression of The Way I Feel by Keane on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
C G7 C
C G F

[Verse 1]
G
Well they said you were a bright child
Fmaj7
Never anything but joy behind your eyes
G
No sign of all the dark clouds
Fmaj7
Spreading like volcanic dust over your blues skies
G
Now they’re looking for an answer
Fmaj7
Where the rot set in and set up the landslide

[Pre-Chorus]
G
But it only makes it worse now
Fmaj7
You’re like a puzzle to be worked out

[Chorus]
G
And it’s the voices in your head now
C Dm Am
Saying there’s something wrong about the way I feel
C G Fmaj7
A broken link, a missing part, a punctured wheel

[Verse 2]
G
And it’s not what you’re expecting
Fmaj7
The way the world you built loves to cut you down
G
The way your head gets twisted
Fmaj7
And you sit up all night trying to figure it out
G
And they say you’ve made your bed now
Fmaj7
Don’t you see you’ve brought it on yourself

[Pre-Chorus]
G
And they say that you should move on
Fmaj7
But you can’t even get your shoes on

[Chorus]
G
And it’s the voices in your head now
C Dm Am
Saying there’s something wrong about the way I feel
C G F
A broken link, a missing part, a punctured wheel
G
It doesn’t matter what you say now
C Dm Am
It’s like some vision in the stars that seems so real
C G F
The way I feel, the way I feel, the way I feel
C G F
The way I feel, the way I feel, the way I feel

[Bridge]
G Fmaj7
C G F
And everyone else has got things sorted out
C G F
You stand on the edge talking to yourself
C G F
You’re young, left behind and tangled up inside

[Pre-Chorus]
G
And it’s not what you’re expecting
Fmaj7
The way your head gets twisted
G
And it’s the voices in your head now
(And it’s the voices in your head now)

[Outro]
G
The way I feel
C Dm Am
It’s like some vision in the stars that seems so real
C G F
The way I feel, the way I feel, the way I feel
C G F
The way I feel, the way I feel, the way I feel
C G F
The way I feel, the way I feel, the way I feel
C G F
The way I feel, the way I feel, the way I feel

How to play Piano: key, chords and progression

Piano by Keane is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 7 chords: C, G7, G, F, Fmaj7, Dm and Am.

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

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
