[Intro]
G#m B D#m F#

[Verse 1]
            G#m
I don't wanna go
                  B
But baby, we both know
                D#m
This is not our time
                 F#
It's time to say goodbye
              G#m
Until we meet again
                       B
'Cause this is not the end
               D#m
It will come a day
                      F#
When we will find our way

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m
Violins playing and
     B
 the angels crying
         D#m
When the stars align
              F#
 then I'll be there

[Chorus]

No, I don't care
           G#m
about them all

'Cause all I want
          B
 is to be loved
                       D#m
And all I care about is you

You're stuck on me
       F#
like a tattoo
No, I don't care
           G#m
about the pain
I'll walk through
                  B
fire and through rain
                      D#m
Just to get closer to you
You're stuck on me
        F#
like a tattoo

[Verse 2]
               G#m
I'm letting my hair down
              B
I'm taking it cool
                         D#m
You got my heart in your hand
Don't lose it, my friend
                F#
It's all that I got

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m
Violins playing and the
 B
 angels crying
         D#m
When the stars align
               F#
then I'll be there

[Chorus]
                           G#m
No, I don't care about them all
                           B
'Cause all I want is to be loved
                       D#m
And all I care about is you
                          F#
You're stuck on me like a tattoo
                           G#m
No, I don't care about the pain
I'll walk through fire
             B
 and through rain
                      D#m
Just to get closer to you
You're stuck on me like
   F#
 a tattoo

How to play Tattoo: key, chords and progression

These are Tattoo chords by Loreen on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Tattoo by Loreen is built around F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯), with 4 chords in all: G#m, B, D#m and F#.

Listen for G#m – B – D#m – F# (ii – IV – vi – I in F♯ major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – fah – lah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes Em, G, Bm, D (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
