This is the chord progression of Its Not Living If Its Not With You by The 1975 on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
E    A
Danny ran into some complications
E    A
He falls asleep during conversations
E       A
He’s gotta search the street when he’s on vacation
E          A
The worst thing is that I’m in the same situation

[Chorus]
A    B    E
And all I do is sit and think about you
A B E
If I knew what you’d do
A B    E
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
A B    E
It’s not living if it’s not with you

[Verse 2]
E          A
And Danny says we’re living in a simulation
E       A
But he works in a petrol station (selling petrol)
E       A
He says it all began with his operation
E             A
And I know you think you’re sly but you need some imagination

[Chorus]
A    B E
And all I do is sit and think about you
A B E
If I knew what you’d do
A    B    E
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
A B    E
It’s not living if it’s not with you
A    B E
All I do is sit and drink without you
A B E
If I choose then I lose
A    B    E
Distract my brain from the terrible news
A    B E
It’s not living if it’s not with you

[Bridge]
E
I can’t stop sweating or control my feet
A
I’ve got a twenty-stone monkey that I just can’t beat
E
I can stage a situation, but I just can’t eat
A
And there’s a feeling, you’re replacing embrace

[Chorus]
A    B E
It’s true that, all I do is sit and think about you
A B E
If I knew what you’d do
A    B   E
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
A B E
It’s not living if it’s not with you
A B E
All I do is sit and drink without you
A B E
If I choose then I lose
A    B E
Distract my brain from the terrible news
A B    E
It’s not living if it’s not with you

[Outro]
A    B    E
Oh, I’ll try to get a job in a bank, I think
A    B    E
Danny spent time trying to pack in the drinks for me
A B    E
I feel sick and I know I can’t lose but
A B       E
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
A B E
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
A    B    E
It’s not, it’s not, It’s not living if it’s not with you
A    B    E
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
A B E
It’s not, it’s not, it’s not, it’s not
A B E
It’s not living if it’s not with you
