[Verse 1]
G                       D
She's impressed by the little
               Em7  C
 things that I do
G                          D
But when I say that I'll stay,
                      Em7  C
she don't think it's true
G                          D
She doesn't know what she has to offer
Em7              C
Underneath her broken heart armor
G                D
Still scared to love and that's
          Em7  C
 thanks to you
G                        D
The way she talks I can tell
that she been through it
Em7
She looks and love like she's
  C
being introduced to it
G
The first men to hold her
   D                   Em7
heart put a bruise to it
     C
Yeah

[Chorus]
     G
So this is for the guy who
  D
 loved her before me
Em7           C
And every lie   that you
 let her believe
G
How could you run from
      D
somebody like her?
Em7
And break her down til'
      C
she don't know what she's worth
G                  D
Cause she's smart,
               Em7
she's pretty,     she's funny
C
Man it's a pity
G                    D
When you sober up, maybe
you should call her
G
Signed the man who loves
your daughter

[Instrument]
G  D  Em7  C

[Verse 2]
She pulls away when things
           Em7   C
 start going right
G                        D
Cause falling heart and minds
                     Em7  C
 are out at firt goodbye
G                 D
But I'm patient while
she learns to trust
Em7      C
However long it takes because
G                D
That times she knows
             Em7
she's good enough
       C
She's good enough

[Chorus]
     G
So this is for the guy who
   D
 loved her before me
Em7           C
And every lie   that you
 let her believe
G
How could you run from
     D
somebody like her?
Em7
And break her down til'
      C
she don't know what she's worth
G                  D
Cause she's smart,   she's pretty,
 Em7
     she's funny
C
Man it's a pity
G                    D
When you sober up, maybe
you should call her
G
Signed the man who
loves your daughter

[Instrumental]
G  D Em7  C

[Bridge]
G                  D
You don't have to try
and fix it all
Em7            C
Just let her know
it's not her fault
G              D
Just let her know
               Em7  C  G
it's not her fau---u--ult
      D               Em7     C
You know it's not het fault, no


[Chorus]
     G
So this is for the guy
     D
who loved her before me
Em7                 C
And every lie that you
 let her believe
G                      D
No, you can't change what's been done
Em7
But you'd be proud of
   C
 what she's become
G                      D
Cause she's sensitive,
she's tough
Em7
Yeah, she's been always
  C
 more than enough
G                     D
I see everything you didn't
       Em7  C
 wanna see
G
I'm gonna show her not
 D         Em7    C
 everybody leaves
G                    D
Don't call til' you wanna
be her father
Em7                 C
Signed the man who loves
 your daughter

How to play Uh Oh: key, chords and progression

These are Uh Oh chords by Tate McRae on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Uh Oh by Tate McRae is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 5 chords: G, D7sus4, D, Em7 and C.

Listen for G – D – Em7 – C (I – V – vi7 – IV in G major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
