[Intro]
Am   F   G

[Verse 1]
       Am         F  C
I had nothing to say...
              G
on Christmas day
            Am
When you threw all your
   F              C
 clothes in the snow
          Am         F  C
When you burnt your hair,
                        G
and you knocked over chairs
         Am           F
I just tried to stay out
          C
 of your way

[Pre-Chorus]
              C
But when you fell asleep
       F             C
With blood on your teeth,
         Am        F
 I just got in my car
            G/B
and drove away

[Chorus]
           C  Em        F
Listen to me,...butterfly
         F            C
There's only so much wine
               Am          F
That you can drink in one life
                        C
But it will never be enough
              Am      F
To save you from the bottom
           C
 of your glass

[Interlude]
Am   F   C
Am   F   C
Am   F   C
Am   F   C

[Verse 2]
            Am            F
Where the state highway starts,
 C           G
 I park my car
       Am           F
And I got out, to stare
             Em
 up at the stars
        Am      F
And as meteors die
      C                G
And shout across the sky
    Am                F
I thought about your sad
               C
 and shining eyes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
        C            Em
I came back for my clothes,
           F            C
 when the sun finally rose
     Am              F
And you were still passed
             G/B
 out on the floor

[Chorus]
           C  Em        F
Listen to me,...butterfly
         F            C
There's only so much wine
               Am          F
That you can drink in one life
                        C
But it will never be enough
              Am      F
To save you from the bottom
           C
 of your glass

[Outro]
Am   F   C
Am   F   C
Am   F   C
Am   F   C

How to play So Much Wine: key, chords and progression

These are So Much Wine chords by Phoebe Bridgers on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

So Much Wine by Phoebe Bridgers is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 6 chords in all: Am, F, G, C, G/B and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – C – Am – F (IV – I – vi – IV in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
