[Verse 1]

Tell me, "You're the
  Em         G
 best thing"
   Bm
I tell you, "That's
            A
what you need"
                  Em       G
Rolling on those good looks
 Bm                 A
Maybe it's just enough

I know you dream of
 Em        G
 snowfields
          Bm              A
Gloating high above the trees
               Em        G
Living for the new thing
   Bm                    A
Sometimes the new won't do

Maybe there's a car there
 Bm                A
Driving away from here
                 Em
Taking all the ghosts,
    G

 the hurt
      Bm
Well, everything
        A
starts anew
                   Em
Tell mе what you need,
       G
 what's right
   Bm               A
Whatever is just enough
                    Em
Is living with thе truth,
    G
 a start
 Bm                A
Maybe it's just enough

How to play Kisses: key, chords and progression

These are Kisses chords by Slowdive on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Kisses by Slowdive is written in B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 5 chords: Em, G, Bm, A and D.

The backbone of the song is Em – G – Bm – A (iv – VI – i – VII in B minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes Am, C, Em, D, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
