D   A/C#   Em   F#m
G   Bbdim7  Bm   A/C#

[Verse 1]
D                   A/C#
 Sometimes I'm so selfish
         Em
that it scares me
F#m G               Bbdim7
  Other times I'm selfless
      Bm
to a fault
A/C# D                   A/C#
       Sometimes I'm the life
                 Em
and soul of the party
F#m  G                 Bbdim7
   Other times I just pull
              Bm    A
the curtains closed

[Chorus]
 G          Bbdim7             Bm
Sometimes I don't really wanna be
here
A  G
  Other times I feel like I
      Bbdim7          Bm
could take over the world
A  G                  Bbdim7
  Sometimes I'm good company
Bm                 A
Other times I'm a curse
    G#mb6
But every time it's you that
          G
gets the worst

D                   A/C#
..Sometimes I don't eat
             Em
until it's agony
F#m G
  Other times it's
        Bbdim7   Bm
like a medieval feast
A/C# D                  A/C#
   Sometimes I'm the suckling
             Em
pig on the table
F#m        G            Bbdim7
 These chances, they caught
          Bm  A
me underneath

 G          Bbdim7
Sometimes I don't really
      Bm
wanna be here

I could take over the world

there's no sound
F#m G                 Bbdim7
   Sometimes you can't see
             Bm
who loves you most
D                     A/C#
 I stood there as the sea
           Em
beat the cliffside
F#m G             Bbdim7
   Sometimes I'm stronger
       Bm   A
than I look

How to play Good Company: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Good Company by Sam Fender on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Good Company by Sam Fender keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 9 chords: D, A/C#, Em, F#m, G, Bbdim7, Bm, A and G#mb6.

Most of the song cycles through G – Bbdim7 – Bm – A (IV – ♭vi°7 – vi – V in D major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F#m, Bbdim7, Bm and G#mb6 are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
