[Intro]
A6 Gmaj7
A6 Gmaj7
A6 Gmaj7
A6 Gmaj7

[Verse 1]
A6
My mind is complicated
Gmaj7
Find it hard to rearrange it
A6 Gmaj7
But I’ll have to find a way somehow
A6
Overreacting lately
Gmaj7
Find it hard to say I’m sorry
A6 Gmaj7
But I’ll make it up to you somehow
D C#m Bm A Gmaj7
I just don’t know why
D C#m Bm A Gmaj7
Stars won’t shine at night

[Chorus]
D
Tell me you want it
Gmaj7
A thousand miles away from the day that we started
A6
But I’m standing here with you, just trying to be honest
Gmaj7
If honesty means telling you the truth
D Gmaj7
Well, I’m still in love with you

[Verse 2]
D
Did I miscalculate this?
Gmaj7
Let’s just go back to basics
D Gmaj7
Forget about what’s coming on
D
‘Cause I hate to see us like this
Gmaj7
Breaking up on nights just like this
D Gmaj7
We should be shooting for them stars of gold

[Chorus]
D
So tell me you want it
Gmaj7
A thousand miles away from the day that we started
A6
But I’m standing here with you, just trying to be honest
Gmaj7
If honesty means telling you the truth
D
Then I guess we lost our focus
Gmaj7
And it’s killing me that we could go to war like this
A6
But I’m standing here with you, just trying to be honest
Gmaj7
If honesty means telling you the truth
D
Well, I’m still in love with you

[Bridge]
Cadd9 G D
Oh, we’ll be alright
Cadd9 G D
Oh, it’ll be alright
Cadd9 G D
Oh, we’ll be alright
Cadd9 G D A
Oh, it’ll be alright

How to play Still: key, chords and progression

Still by Niall Horan is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 8 chords: A6, Gmaj7, D, C#m, Bm, A, Cadd9 and G.

Listen for Gmaj7 – A6 – Gmaj7 – D (IVmaj7 – V6 – IVmaj7 – I in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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