[Intro]
A D

[Verse 1]
A               E                   D
Waking up in your bed
A                             E                             D
It’s almost like I’ve been here forever
A                   E               D
I’m obsessed with your brain
A                             E
And I’d unfold it if you let me

[Chorus]
A                                           E
What if we move to Canada
D
And buy some things we don’t need?
A                             E
Bring your mother’s dog
D
Your paintbrush and some candy
A               E                             D
And when they talk about those

People who up and leave
Bm               D
That could be us
That could be you and me
A E D

[Verse 2]
A                              E               D
How you talk with your hands
A               E                             D
And how you sigh like a movie
A                             E                             D
And we got luck so bad we have to laugh
A                                           E                                                         D
I guess we’re lucky that we don’t need much outside of us, do we?

[Chorus]
A                             E
What if we move to Canada
D
And buy some things we don’t need?
A                                           E
Bring your mother’s dog
D
Your paintbrush and some candy
A               E                             D
And when they talk about those. People who up and leave
Bm               D
That could be us. That could be you and me

[Bridge]
A E D
Ah,
that could be you and me
A E D
Ah
that could be you and me
A E D
Ah,
that could be you and me
Bm7 C#m7 D
Ah

[Chorus]
A                             E
So, why don’t we move to Canada
D
And buy some things we don’t need?
A                                           E
Bring your mother’s dog
D
Your paintbrush and some candy
A                    E                             D
And when they talk about those
People who up and leave
Bm               D
That could be us
That could be you and me
A               E
Move to Canada
D
And buy some things we don’t need
A                             E
Bring your mother’s dog
D
Your paintbrush and some candy
A               E                             D
And when they talk about those
People who up and leave
Bm               D
That could be us
That could be you and me

[Outro]
That could be you and me

How to play Canada: key, chords and progression

Canada by Lauv feat. Alessia Cara sits in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: A, D, E, Bm, Bm7 and C#m7.

The backbone of the song is D – A – E – D (IV – I – V – IV in A major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. 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, C, D, Am, Am7, Bm7 (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
