[Verse 1]
We couldn’t turn around
‘Til we were upside down
I’ll be the bad guy now
Cmaj7
But no, I ain’t too proud
Fmaj7 Fm
I couldn’t be there
Cmaj7
Even when I try
Fmaj7
You don’t believe it
We do this every time

[Chorus]
Cmaj7
Seasons change and our love went cold
F Fm
Feed the flame ’cause we can’t let it go
Cmaj7
Run away but we’re running in circles
F Fm
Run away, run away
Cmaj7
I dare you to do something
Fmaj7 Fm
I’m waiting on you again, so I don’t take the blame

I got a feeling it’s time to let it go

If you say so
F
I knew that this was new for me, ayy
Cmaj7
You thought that it was special, special
Fmaj7 Fm
But it was just the sex though, the sex though
Cmaj7
And I still hear the echoes (The echoes)
Fmaj7 N.C.
I got a feeling that it’s time to let it go, let it go

How to play Circles: key, chords and progression

Circles by Post Malone keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 7 chords: Cmaj7, Fmaj7, F, Fm, C, C/B and Cmaj7/B.

Listen for Cmaj7 – Fmaj7 – Fm – Cmaj7 (Imaj7 – IVmaj7 – iv – Imaj7 in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Amaj7, Dmaj7, D, Dm, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
