[Intro]
D Em Bm G

[Verse 1]
  D
I wonder if I'm being real
Em
Do I speak my truth or
 do I filter how I feel?
  Bm
I wonder, wouldn't it be nice
   G
To live inside a world that 
isn't black and white?
  D
I wonder, what it's like 
to be my friends
Em
Hope that they don't think
 I forget about them
  Bm        G
I wonder, I wonder

[Chorus]
D
Right before I close my eyes
    Em
The only thing that's on my mind
     Bm
Been dreaming that you feel it too
  G                       
I wonder what it's like to 
                D      Em
be loved by you, yeah
                        Bm
I wonder what it's like
  G
I wonder what it's like 
to be loved by

[Verse 2]
  D
I wonder, why I'm so afraid
   Em
Of saying something wrong,
 I never said I was a saint
  Bm
I wonder when 
I cry into my hands
    G
I'm conditioned to feel
 like it makes me less of a man
      D
And I wonder if some day 
you'll be by my side
    Em                    
And tell me that the world
                     Bm
 will end up alright
        G
I wonder, I wonder

How to play Wonder: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Wonder by Shawn Mendes on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Wonder by Shawn Mendes keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 4 chords: D, Em, Bm and G.

Listen for D – Em – Bm – G (I – ii – vi – IV in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – reh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, Am, Em, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
