How to play What If I Never Get Over You: key, chords and progression

What If I Never Get Over You by Lady Antebellum is written in E minor (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 7 chords: Dadd4, Em7, Cadd9, G, Csus2, D and Bm.

Listen for G – D – Em7 – Cadd9 (III – VII – i7 – VIadd9 in E minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, Dadd4, Csus2 and Bm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
