[Intro]
Cadd9 G D Em7
Cadd9 G D

[Verse 1]
  Cadd9           G
A cold beer's got 12 ounces
  D                     
A good truck's got maybe
 Em7
 three hundred thousand
    Cadd9       G         
You only get so much until
      D
 it's gone
Cadd9     G
Duracells in a Maglite
D             Em7
A needle drop on a 45
        Cadd9            
Are the kinda things that
 G            D
 only last so long
         Am7               
When the new wears off, and
      G/B            C
 they get to getting old
Am7              G/B    
Sooner or later, time's
                C D
 gonna take it's toll

[Chorus]
         Cadd9
They say nothing lasts forever
         G
But they ain't seen us together
G/F#   Em7              
Or the way the moonlight 
                D
dances in your eyes
       Cadd9
Just a t-shirt in the kitchen
        G
With no make-up and a million
G/F#  Em7                     
Other things that I could look
             D
 at my whole life
  Cadd9                     
A love like that makes a man 
             D
have second thoughts
      Cadd9           
Maybe some things last 
 D
forever after all

Cadd9 G D

[Verse 2]
   Cadd9          G
FM station on the outskirts
     D                   
Blue jeans after years of
 Em7
 shift work
       Cadd9         
Always fading out like
  G                  D
 I always knew they would
    Cadd9           G
The strings on this guitar
          D           
The first love lost on 
   Em7
a young heart
      Cadd9            G    
Those things are gonna break
           D
 after the getting's good
           Am7              
'Cause the new wears off and 
      G/B            C
they get to getting old
      Am7              G/B   
Yeah, sooner or later, time's 
                 C D
gonna take it's toll

[Chorus]
         Cadd9
They say nothing lasts forever
         G
But they ain't seen us together
G/F#   Em7             
Or the way the moonlight 
                 D
dances in your eyes
       Cadd9
Just a t-shirt in the kitchen
        G
With no make-up and a million
G/F#  Em7                
Other things that I could 
                  D
look at my whole life

         Cadd9
They say nothing lasts forever
         G
But they ain't seen us together
G/F#   Em7              
Or the way the moonlight
                D
 dances in your eyes
      Cadd9
And I know there'll be that moment
              G        
The good lord calls one
                G/F#
 of us home and
Em7                     
One won't have the other 
          D
by their side
    Cadd9            
But Heaven knows that 
                D
won't last too long
      Cadd9          
Maybe some things last
  D
 forever after all

[Outro]
Cadd9 G D Em7
After all
Cadd9 G D

How to play Forever After All: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Forever After All by Luke Combs on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Forever After All by Luke Combs is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 8 chords: Cadd9, G, D, Em7, Am7, G/B, C and G/F#.

Listen for D – Em7 – Cadd9 – G (V – vi7 – IVadd9 – I in G major), a rotation of the “four-chord” pop progression (I–V–vi–IV): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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