[Intro]
Fmaj7  C

[Verse 1]
           Fmaj7
Oh, so you do have a type,
 and it's not me

Oh, so you can reply,
just to not me
              C
If you wanted brown eyes,
I could've got contacts
                Fmaj7
So y'all are in Paris now,
 guess it's public

Face like that other girl
 you're in love with
                 C
You knew I would see that
You knew I would notice

[Chorus]
                  Fmaj7
She looks nothing like me
                          Fm
Can't really tell, should I be
                   C
Tryna take it as a compliment?
                              G
It's kinda feelin' like the opposite
                  Fmaj7
She looks nothing like me
                      Fm
So why do you look so happy?

                      C
Now I think I get the cause of it

You were holdin' out to
            G
 find the opposite

[Post-Chorus]
      Fmaj7
And I know now

Even if I try to change
     C
That somehow
      G
You'd end up with her anyway
      Fmaj7
Oh, I know now

Even if I try to change
     C
That somehow
      G
You'd end up with her anyway

[Verse 2]
             Fmaj7
Does she say nothin',
so you feel good?

Does she step out the spotlight,
so you bathe in it?
                   C
Does she get up on top of you
 more than I would?

Does she just love the picture
 'cause you're paintin' it? (Mhm)
             Dm
I care but I don't,
just wonderin'
when you (When you)
         G
Said I'm beautiful,
 was I bein' lied to?

[Chorus]
                  Fmaj7
She looks nothing like me
                          Fm
Can't really tell, should I be
                   C
Tryna take it as a compliment?
It's kinda feelin'
            G
like the opposite
                  Fmaj7
She looks nothing like me
                      Fm
So why do you look so happy?
                      C
Now I think I get the cause of it
You were holdin' out to
            G

[Post-Chorus]
      Fmaj7
And I know now

Even if I try to change
     C
That somehow
      G
You'd end up with her
anyway (Anyway)
      Fmaj7
Oh, I know now

Even if I try to change
     C
That somehow
      G
You'd end up with her
anyway (Anyway)

[Outro]
Fmaj7
                   C
End up with her anyway

How to play Opposite: key, chords and progression

These are Opposite chords by Sabrina Carpenter on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

To play Opposite by Sabrina Carpenter, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 5 chords: Fmaj7, C, Fm, G and Dm.

The backbone of the song is C – G – Fmaj7 – C (I – V – IVmaj7 – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
