[Intro]GEmCGEmCEmGEmCGEmC[Verse 1]G
Your voice puts sickness
C
into my gut
GEm
And I swallowed just a
C
little too much
DAmC
I don’t know what I did wrong
A/C#
It’s not your fault, I just
C
think I was in love
GC
You make every part of me small
G
I’m short of breath
EmC
and two feet tall
GEm
And I still don’t know
C
what I did wrong
A/C#
It’s not your fault,
C
I just think I was in love
[Interlude]GEmGGEm[Chorus]CG
What was the day
EmG7
…That you ceased to think
G/BC
of me like that
CG7
I don’t know what I said
EmG7
But I’d like the chance
CD
to take it back
[Verse 2]GEmC
I have been avoiding you I guess
G
‘Cause when we speak
EmC
I forget, forget, forget
G
Then when it hits me, it’s
EmC
further into my chest
DEm
You don’t want me, forget,
AmC
forget, forget
[Pre-Chorus]GEmC
Forget, forget, forget
GEmCGEmCGEmC[Verse 3]GEm
My voice puts sickness
C
into my gut
G
And I can’t believe
EmC
I missed it once
GEmC
I guess you did nothing wrong
A/C#
And I swear it wouldn’t
C
have mattered so much
A/C#
None of this would be worth
C
the fuss if I hadn’t been in love
GEmC
I just think
GEmC
I was in love

How to play Orlando: key, chords and progression
These are Orlando chords by Leith Ross on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
Orlando by Leith Ross keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 8 chords: G, Em, C, D, Am, A/C#, G7 and G/B.
The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – Em – C (IV – I – vi – IV in G major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
