This is the chord progression of Sunflower by Twentytwo on piano, guitar, ukulele and keyboard.

[Verse 1]
G                      F                                   C
Independent, that’s how you view yourself
Now that you’re twentytwo, twentytwo
G                  F                                   C
If I could do it, I would stay young for you
We could live inside a place
D7
Where we’d never have to face
C
All the people who disgrace us
D7
And make us hide our face

[Verse 2]
G                                   F                                   C
Busted and used, that’s how you view your girl
Now that she’s twentytwo, twentytwo
G                  F                                   C
If I could do it, I would stay young for you
We could live inside a place
D7
Where we’d never have to face
C
All the people who disgrace us
D7
And make us hide our face

[Verse 3]
G                                   F                  C
If I could do it, I would fly into the sun
I would become warm
G                  F                                   C
And I meant it when I said you’re my favourite son

With your finger that is reaching
D7
For the trigger of the gun
C
And you know you’ve got to prove it
D7
To yourself and everyone

[Chorus]
G                  Am
I do not go quietly
C
Into the night that calls me
Am                                   G
Even when I’m alone
G                  Am
I do not go quietly
C
Into the night that calls me
Am                  G
Even when I’m alone

[Verse 4]
G                                   F                                   C
If I could do it, I would take her in my arms
I would unwrong all his wrongs
G                  F                                   C
I could stay here and write a thousand songs
Just to show her that the stars
D7
Still come out behind the fog
C
There’s a light on in the lighthouse
D7
You can see it in the dark

[Chorus]
G                  Am
I do not go quietly
C
Into the night that calls me
Am                                   G
Even when I’m alone
G                       Am
I do not go quietly
C
Into the night that calls me
Am                                   G
Even when I’m alone

I do not go quietly

Into the night that calls me

Even when I’m alone
G                  Am
I do not go quietly

Into the night that calls me

Even when I’m alone

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – Am – C – Am (V – vi – I – vi in C major). In solfa, that is soh – lah – doh – lah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
