[Intro]
C Am G D

[Verse 1]
        C
Can you feel
          Am
what's beneath?
      G
Is it stone cold
            D
under your feet?
        C
Are you numb?
         Am
Can you touch?
       G
Is the silence a
            D
little too much?

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
And all you wanna
   C         D
 do is break out

[Chorus]
             C
So, when you feel
                 Am
there's nothin' left
            G
Oh, there's still a
                      D
 heart beatin' in your chest
                C
And when you're runnin'
          Am
 from the flood
               G
Oh, you've got nowhere
         D
left to run

[Post-Chorus]
          C      Am
It's just science
Don't let it break
     G
 you down

[Verse 2]
        C             Am
You can dance on your own
      G
It's okay 'cause
             D
you're not alone
        C         Am
You can hide your love
            G
You'll have your
             D
days in the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
But all you wanna
    C          D
 do is break out

[Chorus]
             C
So, when you feel
                 Am
 there's nothin' left
            G
Oh, there's still a heart
                 D
beatin' in your chest
                C
And when you're runnin'
          Am
 from the flood
               G
Oh, you've got nowhere
         D
 left to run

[Bridge]
             C
Oh, when you feel
you're sinkin'
Am            G
Overthinkin', time
             D
 is crashin' down
           C
Oh, if you need somebody
    Am
The world's too
          G
heavy to shine
                  D
It's not too late now

[Outro]
          C
It's just science
                         Am
(Don't let it break you)
                       G
Don't let it break you down
                         D
 (Don't let it break you down)
              C
Mm, it's just science
                         Am
(Don't let it scare you)
                       G
Don't let it scare you now

How to play Science: key, chords and progression

These are Science chords by Niall Horan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Science by Niall Horan is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 4 chords: C, Am, G and D.

The backbone of the song is C – Am – G – D (IV – ii – I – V in G major). In solfa, that is fah – reh – 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.
