[Verse 1]
F#m
No more water in the lake
F#m
No more fish in the ocean
F#m
They grew wings, flew away
F#m
I got a clue where they’re going
F#m
They want a break, they want a break
F#m
No more water in the lake
F#m
No more fish in the ocean
F#m
They grew wings, flew away
F#m
I got a clue where they’re going
F#m
They want a break, they want a break

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
All the lucky ones kept fucking it up
F#m
Threatened our lives but it wasn’t enough
F#m
Didn’t wanna sit down, couldn’t listen to nobody
F#m
So everybody went out of control

[Chorus]
E G F#m
Thrashing in platinum dust
E G F#m
Damage that can’t be undone
E G F#m
Tragic of weapons

[Bridge]
F#m
(They want a break)
F#m
Everybody went to outer space
F#m
The second that the sun exploded
F#m
I’m the only fool who stayed
F#m
If you’re reading this, I wrote it

[Chorus]
E G F#m
Thrashing in platinum dust
E G F#m
Damage that can’t be undone
E G F#m
Tragic of weapons

How to play Dust: key, chords and progression

Dust by The Neighbourhood is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 3 chords: F#m, E and G.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F#m – E – G – F#m (iii – II – IV – iii in D major). In solfa, that is mi – reh – fah – mi. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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