[Chrorus]
         C
Are you okay?
                                 Em
'Cause you're the one who needed space

And finally now I'm doing fine
                        F

         C
Are you okay?

You're acting like we never changed
                           Am

[Verse 1]
  C
I know that you've been scared of love
    Em
And everything it did to us
    Am
But how am I supposed to open up
     F
When you were just so good at closing off?
       C
You're up and down, I'm inside out
    Em
You ripped my heart right from my mouth
    Am
And then I had to go and pick it up
    F
And play it like I didn't give a fck

[Pre-Chorus]
    C
You called up my phone fifty
 times from that party
Em
3AM, you thought I'd be there
 in a heartbeat
Am
It's your life but you might
 wanna put down the Bacardi
F
Mean this sincerely, dude

[Chorus]
         C
Are you okay?
                                 Em
'Cause you're the one who needed space
                          Am
And finally now I'm doing fine
                        F
You would rather see me cry-y-y
         C
Are you okay?
                            Em
You're acting like we never changed
                           Am
And finally I can sleep at night
                          F
Makes you wanna lose your mind

[Verse 2]
    C
You called my friends, you called my dad
    Em
You begged for help to win me back
    Am
And they would never say it to your face
    F
But no, they never liked you anyways
    C
You missed my birthday and my shows
    Em
You made me feel so damn alone
    Am
And somehow now you got so much to say
F
Don't got time to listen anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
    C
You called up my phone fifty 
times from that party
Em
3AM, you thought I'd be there
 in a heartbeat
Am
It's your life but you might 
wanna put down the Bacardi
F
Mean this sincerely, dude

[Chorus]

Are you okay?

How to play R U Ok: key, chords and progression

R U Ok by Tate McRae is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: C, Em, Am and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Em – Am – F (I – iii – vi – IV in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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