[Intro]
D       Em      A7      D Dm7

[Verse 1]
D                         Em
I don't wanna make things weird
A       D
But I remember just what you said

And I'm starting to think
 Em       D      A
that you lied to me
                  D
When you said you bought
a two person tent
G                 D
It's just not the case
                A
Because your feet are stuck
         Bm      Bm7
up in my fuckin' face
G       F#m            Bm
I hope you know where the
      Em
receipt went
        G          A    Dm7   D
For this obviously one person tent

[Verse 2]
        A
You see sometimes they use
  D
a picture of two people
G
When there's really
     Bm      A
just room for one
'Cause the people in thе picture
    Bm
are very small childrеn
E                        G
And you are very dumb

[Verse 3]
D                           Em7
I'm sorry that I called you dumb
A7                     D
And I'm sorry that I did
           Bm
it in harmony
D                           Em7
To be honest, I'm not that mad
D
I'm just a little
              G
scared of intimacy
                       D
I know it was not your intent
               A
Come tomorrow, I will
miss the feeling of
Bm
your nose against my leg
G                       F#m
We'll return it in the morning,
    Bm
but tonight we are meant
Em
For this
N.C.
obviously...
A7  D
one person tent

[Outro]
G       A       D

How to play One Person Tent: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for One Person Tent by Tom Cardy on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

One Person Tent by Tom Cardy is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 11 chords: D, Em, A7, Dm7, A, G, Bm, Bm7, F#m, E and Em7.

The backbone of the song is D – A – D – G (I – V – I – IV in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – doh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bm, Bm7 and F#m are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
