[Intro]
G    Em    C    D

[Verse 1]
G                   Em
I know the sun is out
I got a couple songs people
                C
like to talk about
             D
And I should be happy
G               Em
 I know people say
"It comes and goes", but,
                          C
 if I'm feelin' it every day
               D
It's more than a bad week

[Chorus]
           G D/F#     Em
Will I be sad    forever?
          Am      D
Will I be sad forever?
                  G
If my hopes and dreams all
       D/F#
came together
             Em
Would I wake up one day
             G#dim
feeling all better?
       Am
Will I be sad?
       D           G
Will I be sad forever?

[Verse 2]
G                           Em
 I know that through the screen
You only see some of the
                       C
surface   I let you see
          D
Truth is I'm breakin'
            G
I've tried everythin',
still got empty hands
         Em
If you think I'm fakin' it,
I'm sorry in advance
              C
Even when I laugh, I cry
               D
I know it's' dark,
 but I wonder sometimes

[Chorus]
           G  D/F#   Em
Will I be sad   forever?
          Am      D
Will I be sad forever?
                  G
If my hopes and dreams
            D/F#
all came together
             Em
Would I wake up one day
             G#dim
feeling all better?
       Am
Will I be sad?
       D          G
Will I be sad forever?

And ever?

And ever?
     Bm
And ever?
     Am    D
And ever?

[Outro]
            G
Call it a phase
           D/F#
Call it whatever
             Em
I just wish someone would
           G#dim
 give me an answer
           Am
Will I be sad?
           D       G
Will I be sad forever?

How to play Sad Forever: key, chords and progression

These are Sad Forever chords by Lauren Spencer Smith on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

To play Sad Forever by Lauren Spencer Smith, think in G major (one sharp: F♯). It takes 8 chords: G, Em, C, D, D/F#, Am, G#dim and Bm.

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

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