[Intro]
Gm Gm F# F# (x3)

[Verse 1]
Gm Gm
I am on an island, no one to confide
F# F#
Eight days straight, eight hours each and not one line
Gm Gm
I can feel pressure start to possess my mind
F# F#
So, I’ll take this beat I should delete to exercise

[Chorus]
Eb Gm
No, I move slow
F
I want to stop time
F
I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem
Eb Gm
No, I move slow
F
I want to stop time
F Gm
I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem

[Verse 2]
Gm
I’ve got a pet cheetah down in my basement
Gm
I’ve raised him, and bathed him
F#
And named him Jason Statham
I’ve trained him to make me these beats, now my pet cheetah’s quicker in the studio than on his feet

[Verse 3]
Gm
I’ma get mine and get going
Gm
I’m showing my faces in just enough places
F#
I’m done with tip-toeing, I’ll stay in my room
F#
My house is the one where the vultures are perched on the roof
Gm
Get behind me, I bet this nepotistic mindset
Gm
Will help us get ours as we’re growing
F#
This clique means so much to this dude
F#
It could make him afraid of his music, and be scared to death he could lose it

[Chorus]
Eb Gm
No, I move slow
F
I want to stop time
F
I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem
Eb Gm
No, I move slow
F
I want to stop time

I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem

Eb Gm F
I’ll sit here ’til I
F Eb
I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem, no
Gm F
I’ll sit here ’til I
F
I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem

[Chorus]

No, I move slow
F
I want to stop time

No, I move slow
F
I want to stop time
F Gm
I’ll sit here ’til I find the problem

[Bridge]

I can feel pressure start to possess my mind
F# F#
So, I’ll take this beat I should delete to exercise

Pet cheetah, cheetah

How to play Pet Cheetah: key, chords and progression

Pet Cheetah by twenty one pilots is built around G minor (two flats: B♭, E♭), with 4 chords in all: Gm, F#, Eb and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Eb – Gm – F – Eb (VI – i – VII – VI in G minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Em, Eb, C, D (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
