[Verse 1]
You went from a
Em
three-bedroom
apartment out in
Brooklyn
You're out with
F#m
that boy you call
a man, I
shoulda known
that you was
lookin'
I ran into him
F#m
uptown, cracked
a smile
and kept it pushin'
'Cause what he
F#m
don't know won't
hurt him
Girl, does he know
you're yearning,
Em
yearning for me?
I tell you three
times a year that
F#m
you gotta be solo
Not even for me,
but for you because
Em
I'm out here dolo
Don't tell none of
your homegirls '
cause nobody
F#m
needs to know, no
[Chorus]
That I come over
when he's not
Em
there (Come over)
I come over when
he's not thеre
F#m
(Can I come over?)
Hе don't even know
that I'm here
Em
(Can I come over?)
I come over when
he's not
F#m
there (Can I?)
Not there (He's not
there, he's not there)

How to play When He’s Not There: key, chords and progression
When He’s Not There by Kehlani uses 2 chords: Em and F#m.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Dm, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
