[Intro]
G Em C Em G

[Verse 1]
G                Em
We're all goin' around,
        C
up and down,
          G
just to get back at the same
place we started out
        Em
all goin' insane,
            C
stuck in our own brain
G          Em         D
Trying and trying and trying
  C            Em G
to find a way out

[Chorus]
Em
confined to this small
             C
place called home
                      Em
we all feel very much alone,
     C
sometimes
Em                      C
and were all constantly surrounded,
                       Am
every breath I take is toxic
                  Em
feeling like we're stranded Woah
Em
confined to this small
            C
place called home
                    Am
we all feel very much alone,
Em      C
sometimes

[Verse]
G                  Em
were all working it out,
               C
sick of the doubt
           Em                C
that's been clouding up our heads
                 G
for days and days
Em                 C
slowly, getting back up,
            Em
clearing off dust
G
that's been filling up
      C             Em
our senses for a while

How to play The Life Of Today: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for The Life Of Today by Lana on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

The Life Of Today by Lana is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 5 chords in all: G, Em, C, D and Am.

The backbone of the song is G – Em – C – Em (I – vi – IV – vi in G major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
