[Intro]
Gbmaj7 Ab Dbmaj7

[Verse 1]
          Gbmaj7 Ab7
Don't you notice how
 Dbmaj7
I get quiet when there's
        Ebm7  Ab7
no one else around?
Dbmaj7
Me and you and awkward silence
Ebm7       Ab7
Don't you dare look at
 Fm7    Bb7
 me that way
Ebm7
I don't need reminders of
     Ab7
 how you don't feel the same

[Verse 2]
        Gbmaj7 Ab
Oh, the burning pain
Dbmaj7
Listening to you harp on
            Ebm7    Ab7
'bout some new soulmate
Dbmaj7
"She's so perfect",
blah, blah, blah
    Ebm7      Ab
Oh, how I wish you'll
    Fm7     Bb7
wake up one day
  Ebm7
Run to me, confess your love,
        Ab
at least just let me say

[Chorus]
    Ebm7         Ab7
That when I talk to you
    Dbmaj7
Oh, Cupid walks right through
     Ebm7     Ab7
And shoots an arrow
            Dbmaj7
 through my heart
    Ebm7         Ab7
And I sound like a loon
    Fm7        Bb7
But don't you feel it too?
    Ebm7       Ab7
Confess I loved you
          Dbmaj7
 from the start

[Post-Chorus]
Gbmaj7 Ab7

        Dbmaj7
Bi-ya-ba-da
            Ebm7   Ab7
Ba-ba-da-ba-da, da-da,
   Dbmaj7
 da-da
      Ebm7       Ab7
Bi-ya-di, ya-ba-da
   Fm7             Bb7
Ba-bi, ya-da-ba-da-ba,
ba-da-ba-di
      Ebm7          Ab7
Ya-ba-bi, ya-da, da-da

[Verse 3]
         Gbmaj7  Ab7
What's a girl to do
 Dbmaj7
Lying on my bed, staring
    Ebm7    Ab7
 into the bluе?
  Dbmaj7
Unrequited, terrifying
Ebm7       Ab
Lovе is driving me
  Fm7   Bb7
a bit insane
     Ebm7
Have to get this
 off my chest,
      Ab
 I'm telling you today

[Chorus]
    Ebm7         Ab7
That when I talk to you
    Dbmaj7
Oh, Cupid walks
right through
     Ebm7     Ab7
And shoots an arrow
           Dbmaj7
 through my heart
    Ebm7         Ab7
And I sound like a loon
    Fm7        Bb7
But don't you feel it too?
    Ebm7       Ab7
Confess I loved you
          Dbmaj7
from the start

[Outro]
    Ebm7   Ab7
Confess I loved you
       Fdim    Bb7
Just thinking of you
  Ebm7      Ebdim
I know I've loved you
          Db
from the start

How to play From The Start: key, chords and progression

These are From The Start chords by Laufey on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

The backbone of the song is Ab7 – Dbmaj7 – Ebm7 – Ab7 (V7 – Imaj7 – ii7 – V7 in D♭ major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – reh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
