[Intro]
C  G  Am  F

[Verse 1]
           C
I think of you in the window
                    G
 (Every night, I've been
countin' the days)
           Am
I see your face almost every night
            F
 ('Cause I just wanna be there
 when you wake)
           C
Sure maybe Salt Lake is not close
               G
(Denver always seems so far away)
              Am
But I'm still breathin' you in deep
But I hope you know
      F
 that we're still close

[Chorus 1]
Because
C                          G
   The best part is knowin' there's somethin'
                   Am              F
 in my dreams that always makes me smile
Even when you and I are worlds apart,
I hold you in my heart
     C                            G
It’s you, the best part is knowin' there's
                         Am                F
 someone in my life that makes it all worthwhile
Even when I'm a thousand miles away,
I wish that I could stay with you
     Dm
It's you

[Verse 2]
                          G
When I don't know what to do
I shouldn't fear

No, I'm never givin' up, never
              Am
givin' up on you, baby
'Cause I'm never givin' up,
never givin' up on us, baby
Dm              G
I wish you were here
There's no need to be blue

How to play Even When/The Best Part: key, chords and progression

Even When/The Best Part by Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 5 chords: C, G, Am, F and Dm.

The backbone of the song is C – G – Am – F (I – V – vi – IV in C major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, D, Em, C, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
