This is the chord progression of Nine by Sleeping at Last on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse]
Who am I to say
what any of this means-
Gm Dm
I have been sleepwalking
D# F
Since I was fourteen
A# F
Now as I write my song
A# D#
I retrace my steps
Gm Dm
Honestly, it’s easier
D# F
To let myself forget

A# F
Still, I check my vital signs
A# D#
Choked up, I realize
Gm Dm
I’ve been less than half myself
D# F
For more than half my life
Cm F
Wake up
A# D#
Fall in love again
Cm F
Wage war on gravity
A# D#
There’s so much worth fighting for, you’ll see
Cm Gm F
Another domino falls
A#
Either way
[Interlude]
F A# D# Gm Dm D# F

[Verse]
A# F
It looks like empathy
A# D#
To understand all sides
Gm Dm
But I’m just trying to find myself
D# F
Through someone else’s eyes
A# F
So please show me what to do
A# D#
To restart this heart of mine
Gm Dm
How do I forgive myself
D# F
For losing so much time?
Cm F
Wake up
A# D#
Roll up your sleeves
Cm F
There’s a chain reaction in your heart
A# D#
Muscle memory, remembering who you are
Cm F
Stand up
A# D#
Fall in love again and again and again
Cm F
Wage war on gravity
A# D#
There’s so much worth fighting for, you’ll see
Cm Gm F
Another domino falls
A# F Gm/D#
And another domino falls
A# F
A little at a time
A# D#
I feel more alive
Gm Dm
I let the scale tip and feel all of it
D# F
It’s uncomfortable but right
A# F
We were born to try
A# D#
To see each other through
Gm Dm
To know and love ourselves and others well
D# F
Is the most difficult and meaningful
A#
Work we’ll ever do
[Outro]
F A# D# Gm Dm D# F
