[Intro]
 G   Cmaj7    C6

[Verse 1]
   G
I don't even remember
           Cmaj7     C6
 how it started
 G
Something you said must've
        Cmaj7    C6
 set me off
    G
My words are bullets,
                          Cmaj7    C6
and you're my favourite target
     G
This isn't what I wanted,
                       Cmaj7    C6
but I can't drop the gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Am     D
Mhm---mhm
G              Em
Even I can't stop me
Am     D
Mhm---mhm
      C
Just so you know, I'm sorry

[Chorus]
               Em
I'll send you lovebombs
            C
after the war
       G
Even though I know they
                  D/F#
don't work anymore
              Em
I'll wave a white flag
             C
after the storm
          G
I promise I've calmed down in
                      D/F#
the minute like before
    Em
So you wave the rug and
 C
I'll sweep the glass
     G
And we can prеtend like
             D/F#
this nevеr happened
 Em                  C
Lovebombs after the war
       G
Even though I know they
don't work anymore

[Verse 2]
Even when I say I don't
  Cmaj7    C6
hate you
      G
I'm trying even when
             Cmaj7    C6
I lose control
    G
And it's unfair to pull
               Cmaj7    C6
you into my chaos
    G
But after we're out of the
                      Cmaj7    C6
trenches I love you more

[Pre-Chorus]
Am     D
Mhm---mhm
      C
Just so you know, I'm sorry

[Chorus]
               Em
I'll send you lovebombs
            C
 after the war
       G
Even though I know they
                  D/F#
don't work anymore
              Em
I'll wave a white flag
             C
after the storm
          G
I promise I've calmed down in

How to play Lovebomb: key, chords and progression

Lovebomb by Nessa Barrett is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 8 chords in all: G, Cmaj7, C6, Am, D, Em, C and D/F#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – Cmaj7 – C6 – G (I – IVmaj7 – IV6 – I in G major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – fah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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