Intro
Am         C       Dm
                     Youuuuuuuu
Am         C       Dm
                     Youuuuuuuu
Am
      Dm
It's the sharpest pain

Started in my heart but
                    Am
it got in my veins
                           Dm
Once it had my body then the
spirit came
To ask me if I thought
                            Am
my love was true
            Dm
Oh, for sho I say
The time I spent in silence
                        Am
was a pride parade
I know I may seem childish
                                Dm
but I'm still afraid

To sleep alone and night
            Am
is coming soon

      C      Dm         Am
So be light,       my little moon
         C      Dm            Am
If you'll be light,    I'll follow you
         C      Dm         Am
I'll follow (youuuuuuuuuuu)
         C      Dm         Am
I'll follow (youuuuuuuuuuu)
         Dm
Let's get blown away
                        Am
Every day with you is like a holiday
                              Dm
Somewhere really fancy like the
coast of Spain
                              Am
When the bougainvilleas are in bloom
            Dm
Just tell me what you need
                        Am
Tell me, are you looking
for stability?
                              Dm
Have a couple kids and give them
hippie names
'Cause I would like to
             Am
do that with you too

How to play Kodaline: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Kodaline by Ren (Ren Gill) on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Kodaline by Ren (Ren Gill) keeps coming home to A minor (no sharps or flats). You need 3 chords: Am, C and Dm.

Listen for Am – C – Dm – Am (i – III – iv – i in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

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