C            G             Dm     F
  I spend my nights on overdrive

if that's cool to  you

  I live my life so uninspired

How to play Overdrive: key, chords and progression

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

Overdrive by Post Malone is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 9 chords: C, G, Dm, F, E, Cmaj7/B, Am, Bb and Cmaj7.

The backbone of the song is C – G – Dm – F (I – V – ii – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – reh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Bb need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
