[chorus]
Dmaj7
Don't want to sober up
             A
The sun is killing my buzz,
 that's why they
call it mourning
Thought I was strong enough
Threw my bottle at the sky,
 said, "God that's a warning"
Dmaj7
Don't want to sober up
Try to keep it inside,
 but I just want to pour it
A
Thought I was strong enough
Got a lot of shit to say,
 couldn't fit
it in the chorus

[verse 1]
Dmaj7
I just left Wally's
 in a Maserati
The way I gotta flex
 you'd think I did pilates
            A
I called my quote
on quote friends,
 do you got plans?
Turns out everyone's free
            Dmaj7
 when the dinner is
Then they drag me to

 a party out in Malibu

After thirty High Noons
            A
it was pretty cool
Tried to shoot my shot,
 she told me that she
          E     A
 had a shoot, bye-bye
(Damn)

[chorus]
Dmaj7
Don't want to sober up
             A
The sun is killing my buzz,
 that's why they
call it mourning
Thought I was strong enough
Threw my bottle at the sky,
 said, "God that's a warning"

[verse 2]
Dmaj7
Stumbling down a corridor,
came across an open door
A
Throwing up is easy and
 who put on The Commodores?
That's a nice tile floor,
 wish I got to know you more
Who am I talking to? Nobody
Dmaj7
Take me outside,
I'm a little too high
Paid a little too much
 for the time of my life
       A
When money ain't a problem,
 everyone's sliding
Even when I tell myself that I

How to play Mourning: key, chords and progression

These are Mourning chords by Post Malone on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Mourning by Post Malone is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 3 chords in all: Dmaj7, A and E.

Most of the song cycles through A – Dmaj7 – A (I – IVmaj7 – I in A major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh. Get these 3 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
