This is the chords of Little Voice by Sara Bareilles on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Bb C
It’s everything I am and what I’m not
Bb C
And all I’m tryna be
Bb C
This is the part where I spit it all out
Am7 Bb
And you decide what you think of me
Bb C
I’m not trying to be complicated
Bb C
I’m never waiting to get the last laugh
Bb C
But I’ve been handing out benefits of the doubt
Am7 Bb
And I’d like a little bit back

[Chorus]
Bb C
It’s just a little voice
Am7 Bb
And if you’re listenin’
Bb C
Sometimes a little voice
Am7 Dm
Can say the biggest things
Bb C
It’s just my little voice that I’ve been missing

[Verse 2]
Bb C
Looking over the precious moments, it hurts, don’t it?
Bb C
They can cut both ways
Bb C Am7 Bb
No amount of remembering the better things will make the bad ones go away
Bb C Bb C
But I’ve been broken and the one to blame
Bb C Am7 Bb
So my savior is self-defense, taught me to sing what I can’t say

[Outro]
Bb C
It’s just my little voice I’ve been missing

How to play Little Voice: key, chords and progression

Little Voice by Sara Bareilles is in the key of D minor (one flat: B♭). The song uses 4 chords: Bb, C, Am7 and Dm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bb – C – Am7 – Bb (VI – VII – v7 – VI in D minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bb is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
