[Intro]
D    F#m  E    E
D    F#m   E   E

[Verse 1]
     D
When we were young,
    F#m
 we had it rough
E
Short on money,
short on love
               D
That's how the wayside
 takes
    F#m
The wayside keeps
     E
its ghosts
D
Thick as thieves,
    F#m
my fears and me
           E
We've been wrong and
now ten years deep
               D
That's how the wayside
takes
       F#m              E
And it keeps a hold on me

[Chorus]
                     D
 Oh, I'm living in a no
 man's land
F#m           E
Nowhere land, no
place left to go
When I'm running
        D
 from myself
            F#m
I'm holding on to hope
    E
And struggling to cope
            D
And there's places
          F#m
I can't leave
            E
And they're leaving
 a mark on me
                   D
So I'm living in a no
man's land
F#m           E
Everywhere I go,
I'm running from myself

[Verse 2]
D          F#m
 Right age, wrong crowd
E
Blamed it all on
 my hometown
       D
But it wasn't them
     F#m           E
They never let me down
    D
No, it was me
    F#m
I drank, I smoked
   E
I held it in until
I choked
D
Still, these roots
     F#m                E
are wrapped around my feet

[Chorus]
 Oh, I'm living in
   D
a no man's land
F#m           E
Nowhere land, no place
left to go
When I'm running
        D
 from myself
            F#m
I'm holding on to hope
    E
And struggling to cope
            D
And there's places
          F#m
I can't leave
            E
And they're leaving
a mark on me
                   D
So I'm living in a no
man's land
F#m           E
Everywhere I go,
 I'm running from myself

E
 (I'm living in a
 D  F#m   E
no man's land)
(I'm living in a
 no man's land)
            D
And there's places
         F#m
I can't leave
             E
When they're leaving
a mark on me
                   D
So I'm living in a no
 man's land
F#m           E
Everywhere I go,
                      D
I'm running from myself
(D)    F#m    E    E
D    F#m    E    E

How to play No Mans Land: key, chords and progression

These are No Mans Land chords by Marshmello & venbee on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

To play No Mans Land by Marshmello & venbee, think in F♯ minor (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). It takes 3 chords: D, F#m and E.

The backbone of the song is D – F#m – E – D (VI – i – VII – VI in F♯ minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes C, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
