[Chorus]
E
When I'm with you,
 D
   it's always fun,
    A
you make me feel so
A

E               D
Hung up on you,
you're one of one,
you
A             A
ain't just anyone
E                  D
Your eyes are blue,
mine are brown
A              A
with a tint of hazel
E                     D
Ain't no one like you,
A                A
I guess that my
A                A
cards are on the table

[Post-Chorus]
E                 D
Workin' too much,   I
           A      A
forget I'm young
E                  D
They tryna tell me
       A           A
how my life should run
E                D
Work is a chore,
          A          A
deep down I want fun
E                  D
Learn to slow down,
            A
take things one by
     E
onе (onе)

How to play Cards On The Table: key, chords and progression

Cards On The Table by Nia Archives is written in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯) and moves through 3 chords: E, D and A.

The backbone of the song is E – D – A – E (V – IV – I – V in A major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
