[Verse 1]
          Cm
There's a space in
    Ab            Eb
my heart when it all
                 Bb
comes crashing down
   Cm
Anytime I hear your
 Ab          Eb
name out in public
          Cm
There's a place that
   Ab       Eb
I go every time that
             Bb
you're in town
          Cm
It's just me and my
 Ab          Eb
 knots in my stomach

[Pre-Chorus]
         Absus2
And it's true
            Eb
It wasn't easy
Bb           Absus2
Getting over you
But that's just
        Eb     Bb
what I had to do

How to play Whatever: key, chords and progression

These are Whatever chords by Kygo with Ava Max on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Whatever by Kygo & Ava Max sits in C minor (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭), and you need 7 chords to play it: Cm, Ab, Eb, Bb, Absus2, Bdim and Gm.

Listen for Cm – Ab – Eb – Bb (i – VI – III – VII in C minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems: the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Bm, G, D, A, Gsus2, Bbdim, F#m (43% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
