[Intro]
Bm  E/G#  G  F#7

[Verse 1]
 Bm
Caught in a lie
                   E/G#
I can tell by the look in your eyes
Why'd you say that there's
 Gmaj7
nothing to hide
                   F#7
When you look so guilty, baby?
 Bm
Holding my breath
                        E/G#
'Cause I swear I could love
you to death
                     Gmaj7
When we kiss, your shoulders
 are tense
                    F#7
Yeah, you look so guilty, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7
 I should've known
     E
But I went through
your phone anyways
Fmaj7
 I should've known
          E7
Love's a dangerous game

[Chorus]
          Bm
Why am I jealous if I'm yours?
            E/G#
Why do you make me insecure?
            Gmaj7
Why do you tell me not to worry
         F#7
When you always fuckin' hurt me?
          Bm
Why am I jealous if you're mine?
          E/G#
Why am I not even your type?
            Gmaj7
Why do you tell me that I'm crazy?
    F#7
Gaslight, I'm not crazy
if I'm right

[Verse 2]
     Bm
You talk in your sleep
                    E/G#
Telling me all the secrets you keep
                Gmaj7
But if I was a girl in your dreams
                       F#7
Would you still look guilty, baby?

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7
 I should've known
     E
But I went through your
 phone anyways
Fmaj7
 I should've known
          E7
Love's a dangerous game

[Chorus]
          Bm
Why am I jealous if I'm yours?
            E/G#
Why do you make me insecure?
            Gmaj7
Why do you tell me not to worry
         F#7
When you always fckin' hurt me?
          Bm
Why am I jealous if you're mine?
          E/G#
Why am I not even your type?
            Gmaj7
Why do you tell me that I'm crazy?

Gaslight, I'm not crazy if I'm right

How to play Gaslight: key, chords and progression

These are Gaslight chords by Nessa Barrett on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Gaslight by Nessa Barrett is in the key of B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 8 chords: Bm, E/G#, G, F#7, Gmaj7, E, Fmaj7 and E7.

The backbone of the song is Bm – E/G# – Gmaj7 – F#7 (i – IV – VImaj7 – V7 in B minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bm and F#7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
