This  chord progression of Superimposed by Lauren O’Connell on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.

[Verse]
A
When I’m with you I recall the night
F#m
For every particle of light in the sky
A
It’s reconstructed and it’s superimposed
D                                             A
So I align you with the heavens and I watch you glow

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
The stars don’t care if you’re looking or not
D
Don’t waste your time if it don’t lift you up
E                            E7
There is so much else

[Verse]
A                       A/F#                       A/A
I want to see all the things that you see
D                                             F#m
Know how it feels to the air when you breathe
A                       A/F#                       A/A
If I’m afraid of it, it’s probably true
D                                                                   A
If somebody changed their mind, I don’t know what I’d do
D                       E                                             A
No one’s gonna light the world up for you

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
The stars don’t care if you’re looking or not
D
Don’t waste your time if it don’t lift you up
E                       E7
There is so much else

[Chorus]
D                                             E
And I’ve known that for as long as
F#m                       E
I’ve known what sorrow is
D                                   E
And it’s easy just believing
F#m                                                                   E
But then as soon as it’s on me, well then it’s something else entirely
D A

[Verse]
A                       A/F#                       A/A
It was the year of the hole in my chest
D                                                                   F#m
Writing appeals with everything I had left
A                       A/F#           A/A
Every 3 a.m. I’d go to that spot
D                                                                   A
Just to drive against the arrows in the parking lot

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
But the past don’t care what you regret
D
Don’t waste your heart on what you’ll never get
E                       E7
There is so much else

[Chorus]
D                                             E
So I’ll keep you like I don’t need to
F#m                                             E
Well I just want you around
D                       E
But it keeps me uneasy
F#m                                                                   E
Just to know that I’ve arrived when I cannot remember finding my way
D A

Bm A E F#m
Bm A E A
Bm A E F#m
Bm A E A

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
And the chill won’t love you for freezing
D
Don’t waste your heart just because you can
E                                             E7
Oh there is so much else

[Verse]
A
When I’m with you I recall the night
A
For every particle of light in the sky
A
It’s reconstructed and it’s superimposed
D                                                                   A
So I align you with the heavens and I watch you glow

How to play Superimposed: key, chords and progression

To play Superimposed by Lauren O’Connell, think in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). It takes 8 chords: A, F#m, D, E, E7, A/F#, A/A and Bm.

The backbone of the song is A – F#m – D – E (I – vi – IV – V in A major), the classic 1950s “doo-wop” progression. In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, Em, C, D, D7, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
