This is the chords of Graceland Too by Phoebe BridgersA on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Intro]
Cadd9(x4)
Cadd9 G D/F# Em (x4)

[Verse 1]
Cadd9    G D/F#      Em
No longer a danger to herself or others
Cadd9    G D/F# Em
She made up her mind and laced up her shoes
Cadd9    G    D/F#      Em
Yelled down the hall but nobody answered
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
So she walked outside without an excuse

[Chorus 1]
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
She could do anything she wants to
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
She could do whatever she wants to do
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
She could go home, but she’s not going to

[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
So she picks a direction, it’s 90 to Memphis
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
Turns up the music so thoughts don’t intrude
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
Predictably winds up thinking of Elvis
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
And wonders if he believed songs could come true

[Chorus 2]
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
I’m asking for it if they do
Cadd9 G
Doesn’t know what she wants
A7sus4 Cadd9
Or what she’s gonna do
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
A rebel without a clue
Cadd9 G D/F# Em D/F# (x4)

[Bridge]
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
So we spent what was left of our serotonin
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
Chew on our cheeks and stare at the moon
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
Said she knows she’ll live through it to get to this moment
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
Ate a sleeve of saltines on my floor and I knew that

[Chorus 3]
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
I would do anything you want me to
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
I would do anything for you
Cadd9 G
I would do anything
A7sus4 Em Cadd9
I would do anything
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Em Cadd9
Whatever you want me to do, I will do

[Outro]
Cadd9 G
Whatever she wants
A7sus4 Cadd9
Whatever she wants
Cadd9 G
Whatever she wants (Whatever you want)
A7sus4 Cadd9
Whatever she wants (Whatever you want)
Cadd9 G
I would do anything (Whatever you want)
A7sus4 Cadd9
I would do anything (Whatever you want)
Cadd9 G
Whatever she wants (Whatever you want)
A7sus4 Cadd9
Whatever she wants (Whatever you want)
