[Intro]
Em  D

[Verse 1]
Em
Good and bad and right and wrong
  Em
A story's made up when
                D
 we're young to sketch
Em
Love and hate are in-between
  Em                       D
Depends on your reality to see them

[Pre-Chorus]
             C
I just wanna stay in the moment
    D
The rest of my life

[Chorus]
              Em
So, one more night
          D
I'm gonna choose
                       G
I don't wanna face the music
                             C
But I still wanna dance with you

               Em
Let's buy some time
                 D
Oh, we shouldn't do
                       G
I don't wanna face the music
                             C
But I still wanna dance with you
                         Em
I still wanna dance with

[Verse 2]
Em
Close your eyes and count to ten
Em
If you're standin'
                D
on the edge of fallin'
Em
Open up and looking down
Em                            D
Everythin' the night is is forgotten

[Pre-Chorus]
             C
I just wanna stay in the moment
    D
The rest of my life

How to play Face The Music: key, chords and progression

These are Face The Music chords by Louis Tomlinson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Face The Music by Louis Tomlinson sits in E minor (one sharp: F♯), and you need 5 chords to play it: Em, D, C, G and Am.

The backbone of the song is Em – D – G – C (i – VII – III – VI in E minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
