[Verse 1]
                    F
So, what if this is it?
                          G
What if it falls apart in front
of my face?
                 C
I wouldn't be surprised
                        F
'Cause it happens every time
                    F
And now I'm feeling sick
Doing all these things
          G
that just push you away
               C
Baby, tell me, why do
                F
I do this every time?

[Pre-Chorus]
       F
I'm no good at loving you
             G
But I'll try time and time again
        C
Kiss me now, and tell
                    F
me why you're still here

How to play Stranger: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Stranger by Lauv on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Stranger by Lauv is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 3 chords: F, G and C.

Listen for F – G – C – F (IV – V – I – IV in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes D, E, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
