[Verse 1]
          Dm
All the things that
          F
 I once feared
          Am            G
All the whispers in my ear
          Dm
All the friends
               F
 I thought I knew
          Am         G
All the people I outgrew
          Dm             F
All the nights I wasted tears
          Am           G
All the disappearing years
        Dm            F
For a while was in denial
              Am
My mother’s least
             G
favourite child

How to play Paranoid: key, chords and progression

Paranoid by Palaye Royale is built around D minor (one flat: B♭), with 6 chords in all: Dm, F, Am, G, A and C.

Listen for Dm – F – Am – G (i – III – v – IV in D minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Am, C, Em, D, E, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 83% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
