[Intro]
G#m   B    F#    C#

[Verse 1]
G#m                     B
 Do you still have the CDs
 that I burned you
    F#
The T-shirt you pulled off me
    C#
The night you said you loved me
G#m                B
 I still have the marks
 that you made on me
     F#
It's easy to forget that
          C#
 you are gone

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m
 I talk about the past like
               B
I talk about you
            F#
I leave out every little thing
               C#
that I don't like remembering
G#m                            B
 I miss you more than I say I do
           F#
You had to follow all your dreams
            C#
Move to New York away from me

[Chorus]
            G#m
You were so easy to forgive
           B
But not so easy to forget
            F#
Why can't I keep you
              C#
Right where I want you
G#m                   B
 And even though you put
an ocean in between us
F#                   C#
 I will try to keep us

[Post-Chorus]
  G#m                  B
Together, forever, nostalgia
     F#              C#
It's crazy, baby, I want you

[Verse 2]
G#m              B
 I just need to know that
 you are happy
   F#
So if it couldn't be me
     C#
Then go ahead forget me
G#m                 B
 I traced my steps back
to where we first met
    F#
And hold the memory till
            C#
 you slip away

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m
 I talk about the past
                    B
 like I talk about you
            F#
I leave out every little
                     C#
 thing that I don't like remembering
G#m                            B
 I miss you more than I say I do
           F#
You had to follow all your dreams
               C#
Just wish that they included me

[Chorus]
            G#m
You were so easy to forgive
           B
But not so easy to forget
            F#
Why can't I keep you
              C#
Right where I want you
G#m                   B
 And even though you put
an ocean in between us
F#                   C#
 I will try to keep us

[Outro]
  G#m                  B
Together, forever, nostalgia
     F#              C#
It's crazy, baby, I want you
  G#m                  B
Together, forever, nostalgia
     F#              C#
It's crazy, baby, I want you
  G#m                  B
Together, forever, nostalgia
     F#              C#
It's crazy, baby, I want you
  G#m                  B
Together, forever, nostalgia
     F#              C#
It's crazy, baby, I want you

How to play Nostalgia: key, chords and progression

Nostalgia by Suki Waterhouse sits in F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: G#m, B, F# and C#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G#m – B – F# – C# (ii – IV – I – V in F♯ major). In solfa, that is reh – fah – doh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes Em, G, D, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
