[Intro]
G C G C

[Verse 1]
Em Cmaj9 G
Oh I, have a hobby of pickin’ myself apart
Cmaj9 G
Leavin’ people I love waitin’ in the dark
Cmaj9 G
And sometimes when I want to cry, I laugh
Dmaj9
It’s kind of funny
Em Cmaj9 C
Oh and, this October I went fallin’ off the edge
Cmaj9 G
All of London must have heard the things I said
C G D
Put your hand up if I let you down again, hmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj9
There’s a list of things that I should stop
Cmaj9
List of things that I should stop
G
List of things that I should not be doin’ but I do ’em
Cmaj9 C
It’s a pattern that I got

[Chorus]
G Cmaj9
I need to stop my excuses and have a real conversation
G Cmaj9
Need to look in the mirror, stop findin’ things that need changin’
Em Cmaj9
Need to stop gettin’ drunk, to avoid this situation
G Dmaj9
I need to stop, lettin’ myself down

[Post-Chorus]
Cmaj9
I’ll try something that I’ve not before
Dmaj9 G
And like myself a little more now

[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj9 G
Oh I, I’ve got an attic full of damage in my mind
Cmaj9 Em
I box it up, say I’ll deal with it another night
Cmaj9 Em
And I have a problem lookin’ people in the eye
Dmaj9
Isn’t that funny?

G Cmaj9
I should shut up and listen, not try to fill every silence
G Cmaj9
I should stumble in love, instead of runnin’ and hidin’
Em Cmaj9
I should stop gettin’ drunk and showin’ up uninvited
G Dmaj9
I need to stop, lettin’ myself down

[Post-Chorus]
Cmaj9 C
I’ll try something that I’ve not before

[Verse 3]
Cmaj9 G
Oh I’m a master at dancin’ around the point
Cmaj9 Dmaj9
I know I call you, but I hate the sound of my own voice
Em
So can you talk? You know I’m stackin’ up
G
Until the night I’m not enough
D Dmaj9
And you’re just someone else I disappoint

[Chorus]
G C
I need to stop my excuses and put my feelings in order
G C
Need to look in the mirror and stand a little bit taller
Em C
Need to stop gettin’ drunk, as a reason to call you
G Dmaj9
I need to stop, lettin’ myself down
G Cmaj9
I should shut up and listen, not try to fill every silence
G Cmaj9
I should stumble in love, instead of runnin’ and hidin’
Em Cmaj9
I should stop gettin’ drunk and showin’ up uninvited
G Dmaj9
I need to stop, lettin’ myself down

[Post-Chorus]
Cmaj9
I’ll try something that I’ve not before
Dmaj9
And like myself a little more now

How to play The List: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of The List by Maisie Peters on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

The List by Maisie Peters is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 6 chords in all: G, C, Em, Cmaj9, Dmaj9 and D.

The backbone of the song is Cmaj9 – G – Cmaj9 – Em (IV – I – IV – vi in G major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Cmaj9 and Dmaj9 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
