F#m        D          A

be cynical towards you

but can I take you everywhere
we've ever been?
Am                        B7
I wanna see it all, no surprises

How to play Formidable: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Formidable by twenty one pilots on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play Formidable by twenty one pilots, think in F♯ minor (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). It takes 7 chords: F#m, D, A, E, Bm, Am and B7.

Most of the song cycles through F#m – D – A – E (i – VI – III – VII in F♯ minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F#m and Bm are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
