[Intro]
  Why do I do this?
Pick you up and put you down
And put you through this

[Verse 1]
C                  G
  Started off as a good thing, short thing
   Em          D
You held back, but I knew
C               G
  In the moment our lips touched
              Em          D
The rush sent us straight to the moon
                       C               G
I should've known that we'd be coming down
             Em                  D
Right to the bottom where we are now, mmm
C                  G
  Started off as a good thing, short thing
Em            D
What the hell did I do? Yeah

[Chorus]
C              G
  Every time I think I love somebody
Em              D
  Always find a way to fall in all the way
C              G
  I don't ever wanna hurt nobody
Em              D
  I don't wanna be the one to say
C               G
  That we gotta have a conversation
Em              D
  I don't wanna watch the tears run down your face
C                  G
  No, I heard you, and I, I'm sorry
Em                 D
  All I wanted was to love somebody

[Post-Chorus]

  Why do I do this?

Pick you up and put you down
    D
And put you through this

How to play Love Somebody: key, chords and progression

Love Somebody by Lauv is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 4 chords: C, G, Em and D.

Most of the song cycles through C – G – Em – D (IV – I – vi – V in G major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
