This is the chords of No Drugs by Pinegrove on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Dadd9 D/C# Bbm6
No drugs and alcohol today
Dadd4/A Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A
I want to remember everything we talk about
Bbm6 Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A Bbm6
I want to feel light moving in everything you say
Dadd9 D/C# Bbm6
But part of me is caveated out
Dadd4/A Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A
Like maybe certain circumstances are permissible
Bbm6 Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A Bbm6
Maybe I just could and you could just look the other way

[Chorus]
G D/F# Em7 Dadd4
Is it so wrong
Em7 Dadd9
I wanna feel good?
A7 Bm7
I wanna feel good
G D/F# Em7 Dadd4
Is it enough now
Em7 Dadd9
just to want to
A7 Bm7
Even if you mean it?
Dadd9 D/C# Bbm6 Dadd4/A
I wanna feel good

[Interlude]
Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A Bbm6
Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A

[Verse 2]
Dadd9 D/C# Bbm6
Let’s build us a new house for to live
Dadd4/A Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A
You fortify the outside and I got the interior
Bbm6 Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A Bbm6
I got the materials we’re gonna need right here
Dadd9 D/C# Bbm6
Yeah, and it’s weird to think I had it always
Dadd4/A Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A
When manifestly I am the same as I ever was
Bbm6 Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A Bbm6
I think the difference this time is that I could just walk away

[Chorus]
G D/F# Em7 Dadd4
Yeah, and now all things rushing out
Em7 Dadd9
I wanna feel good
A7 Bm7
I wanna feel good
G D/F# Em7 Dadd4
Is it enough now
Em7 Dadd9
just to want to
A7 Bm7
Even if you need it?
Dadd9 D/C# Bbm6 Dadd4/A
I wanna feel good (Yeah)

[Interlude]
Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A Bbm6
Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A

[Outro]
Dadd9 D/C# Bbm6
No drugs and alcohol tonight
Dadd4/A Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A
I follow my shadow up and out the skylight
Bbm6 Em7 Dadd4 Dadd4/A
I can see an outline settled in the grey (Grey)

How to play No Drugs: key, chords and progression

No Drugs by Pinegrove keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 10 chords: Dadd9, D/C#, Bbm6, Dadd4/A, Em7, Dadd4, G, D/F#, A7 and Bm7.

Listen for Em7 – Dadd4 – Dadd4/A – Bbm6 (ii7 – I – I – ♭vi6 in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, Dadd9, Bbm6, Dadd4/A, Dadd4 and Bm7 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
