[Chorus 1]
Em               Am
What a hell of a day
      Dm
I've been trying to make it work
         G
Nine to five I'm just
                   Em
here thinking of you
                   Am
At the end of the day
          Dm
I've been lying to myself
            G
'Cause I'm waiting at a
           Am
 table for two

[Verse 1]
Dm                   G
I know you like the red one
 Am
So I ordered you the best one
Dm                   G
It's been a hell of a day
                Am
Maybe let's just have fun,
have fun
         Dm
You always take your time
    G
Guess I'm the last in line
Am
Sitting here alone

Starring at my phone
     Dm
When you don't show up
G
I know I'm out of luck
Am
Back to work again

I hope to see you then

[Chorus 2]
Em               Am
What a hell of a day
      Dm
I've been trying to make it work
         G
Nine to five I'm just
                   Em
here thinking of you
                   Am
At the end of the day
          Dm
I've been lying to myself
            G
'Cause I'm waiting at
a table for two

[Verse 2]
Dm                        G
They're telling me we're so wrong
Am
'Cause I've been waiting
for you too long
Dm                    G
But I know there's a way
    Am
And I'm counting up the
                   Dm    G
days till I find you
    Am
Only you
     Dm                 G
But my life is flashing by
                  Am
and I've got no clue

[Chorus 3]
Em               Am
What a hell of a day
      Dm
I've been trying to make it work
         G
Nine to five I'm just
                   Em
here thinking of you
                   Am
At the end of the day
          Dm
I've been lying to myself
            G
'Cause I'm waiting at
 a table for two

You said just keep on
 getting away

Em               Am
What a hell of a day

I've been trying to

Nine to five I'm just
                   Em
 here thinking of you
                   Am

'Cause I'm waiting at
 a table for two

How to play Table For Two: key, chords and progression

These are Table For Two chords by Milky Chance on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Table For Two by Milky Chance is written in A minor (no sharps or flats) and moves through 4 chords: Em, Am, Dm and G.

Listen for Am – Dm – G – Am (i – iv – VII – i in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. 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.
