[Intro]
B E

[Verse 1]
B
Day off in Kyoto
Got bored at the temple
E
Looked around at the 7-Eleven
B
The band took the speed train
Went to the arcade
E
I wanted to go, but I didn’t
B
You called me from a payphone
They still got payphones
E
It costs a dollar a minute
B
To tell me you’re getting sober

And you wrote me a letter
E
But I don’t have to read it

[Chorus]
C#m             E            B
I’m gonna kill you
F#
If you don’t beat me to it
C#m            E            B            F#
Dreaming through Tokyo skies
C#m                      E            B
I wanted to see the world
F#
Then I flew over the ocean
C#m            E     B      F#    E
And I changed my mind
B E B E

[Verse 2]
B
Sunset’s been a freak show
On a weekend, so
E
I’ve been driving out to the suburbs
B
To park at the Goodwill
And stare at the chem trails
E
With my little brother
B
He said you called on his birthday
You were off by like ten days
E
But you get a few points for tryin’
B
Remember getting the truck fixed
When you let us drive it
E
25 felt like flying

[Chorus]
C#m            E            B
I don’t forgive you
F#
But please don’t hold me to it
C#m            E            B            F#
Born under Scorpio skies
C#m           E            B
I wanted to see the world
F#
Through your eyes until it happened
C#m            E            B F# E
Then I changed my mind

[Outro]
B C#m E
Guess I lied
B C#m E
I’m a liar
B C#m E
Who lies
B C#m E
‘Cause I’m a liar

How to play Kyoto: key, chords and progression

Kyoto by Phoebe Bridgers keeps coming home to B major (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯). You need 4 chords: B, E, C#m and F#.

Listen for C#m – E – B – F# (ii – IV – I – V in B major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes G, C, Am, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 25% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
