Key: C
 [Instrument]
A      A

[Verse 1]
A
You would get back
         E
 all the hours that
            F#m7     A
I've taken from you
Bm
You wouldn't waste any
 Bm7
flowers on saying
   E      E7
 goodbye
   A
No letting you down,
         E/B
making both of us
            F#m      A
drown in my blue
   Bm
No running from all of
     D
the rivers that
            E      E7
I'd never cry
A
All of your tears would
        E
 weigh less than a
              F#m    A/E
drop in the ocean
Bm
You would hold on if
   D/A
 I wasn't the thorn
         E      E7
to your rose
    A
And who could be stung
         E
 by the words that
             F#m      A
were never spoken?
Bm
Who could be wanting
   D/A
a love they would
              E     E7
have to let go?

[Chorus]
               D/A
'Cause there's nothing
     E
 to lose if there's
  C#7        F#m
 nothing to find
      Bm
And I won't fear the
 E              C#7
 end if therе's no
       D
end in sight
   Bm                 C#7
It isn't like I wanna die

But I wish I could
 F#m A6 A6/D#*       B

         Bm
Like the night sky
      Bm7
 into daylight
     Dm     G     A
Like I  was never here

[Verse 2]
    A
You know if I could,
          E/B
then I'd write myself
             F#m     A6
out of the story
      Bm7
You'd see your reflection
    D/A
 in mirrors that
           E      E7
I'd never break
          A
Oh, you'd sleep every night
             C#m7
 'cause you wouldn't be
  A/E      F#m/C#   E/B
fighting for   me
    Bm
And wake up one morning
     D/A
to find that your heart
         E     E7
didn't ache

[Chorus 2]
               D/A
'Cause there's nothing
    E               C#7
to lose if there's nothing
     F#m
 to find
      Bm             E/B
And I won't fear the end
           C#7       D
if therе's no end in sight
   Bm                 C#7
It isn't like I wanna die
But I wish I could
 F#m E A6/D#        B
dis-a-ppеar, oh oh ohhh
         Bm
Like the night sky
      Bm7
into daylight
     Dm     G     A
Like I  was never here,
        E      DM7
 oo oo ooh oo ooh oo
     Dm     A
oo ooh oo ooh
F#m11/G#    DM7
Oo  oo  oo  ooh
         A/E Asus2
oo  oo  ooh ooh

[Bridge]
A
I'd like to think you
       E
 could tell there was
          F#m     A/E
somebody missing
    Bm
And you would remember
     D/A
the space that I'd
                E     E7
leave in your life
       A
'Cause I couldn't go
       E
for a moment without
      F#m      A/E
you with me
    Bm
But you would be better,
     D/A
my love, if I leave you
     E             E/B
behind  oo  oo  ooh ooh

[Chorus] 3:15
   Bm                 C#7
It isn't like I wanna die
But I wish I could
 F#m E A6/D#*        B
dis-a-ppear, hey ey ey
         Bm*
Like the night sky
 into daylight
     Dm7   G  G6  A

How to play Like I Was Never Here: key, chords and progression

These are Like I Was Never Here chords by Kings Elliot on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Like I Was Never Here by Kings Elliot is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 24 chords: A, E, F#m7, Bm, Bm7, E7, E/B, F#m, D, A/E, D/A and C#7 and 12 more.

The backbone of the song is Bm – D/A – E – E7 (ii – IV – V – V7 in A major). In solfa, that is reh – fah – soh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: F#m7, Bm, Bm7, F#m and C#7 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
