[Intro]
Fmaj7 Em
Fmaj7 Em

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
I know it ain't
 forever,
don't you get
 me wrong
Hiding in my
  Em
basement,
got The Jetsons on
Fmaj7
If it was another
 day,
I'd sing along
I'd go back to
  Em
chasing,
once the evening
comes


[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7
Silent feelings,
 babe,
it's just a
lesser evil
Em
Time has got a
 wicked
way of getting
 even
Fmaj7
All the things
that eat
me up,
 they spit me
      C
out whole


[Chorus]
F
I've been doing all
of my bits
I've been taking care
 of my shit
I've been doing my
 Em
taxes (My taxes,
taxes)
F
I've been going out
 of my way
I've been getting
F
five a day
I've been sorting
my
 Em
plastics (My
plastics, plastics)

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
I've been landing
somersaults on my
 lawn
Beach is gaining
 Em
numbers,
 summer's staying
strong
Fmaj7
Oh, it's just a
 matter
of keeping on
I'll be back to
 Em
basics,
once the
feeling's gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7
Silent feelings,
babe,
 it's just a lesser
 evil
Em
Time has got a
wicked
way of getting
even
Fmaj7
All the things
that
eat me up,
they spit me out
  C
whole


[Chorus]
F
I've been doing all
 of my bits
I've been taking
care of my shit
I've been doing my
 Em
taxes (My taxes,
 taxes)

I've been going out
 of my way
I've been getting
F
five a day
I've been sorting
my
  Em

How to play Piano Hands: key, chords and progression

Piano Hands by Soft Launch is centred on A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 8 chords: Fmaj7, Em, C, F, A#, A, G and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Fmaj7 – Em – Fmaj7 – C (VImaj7 – v – VImaj7 – III in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F and A# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
