[Intro]
C D Em x2

[Verse 1]
C
I used to want to save you
D
Now I don’t
Em
I used to need your voice
D
And now I need to sleep alone
C
You were supposed to be the first sigh
D
Worth all of the long nights
Em
Turning on your high beams
G
Dying in your mood light

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I think I talk too much

I try to walk it off
D
But now you got your gloves
And now you boxed me out
Em
I’m out the ring
But the only ring I want
D
Is the ring around your finger
But your middle one’s up
I’ve had enough
C
I try to brush it off
‘Cause you’re my confidante
D
So let’s talk
Share secrets
Em
I’ve got some dirty laundry
G C
Can you keep it?

[Chorus]
D
I never promised you your dream boy
Em
I’m better as your chew toy
D C
Love, love, love
D
The heart I gave, it was a decoy
Em
I’m just here to destroy
G C
Love, love, love
D
I never promised you your dream boy
Em
I’m better as your chew toy
D C
Love, love, love
D
The heart I gave, it was a decoy
Em
I’m just here to destroy
G
Love, love, love
C D Em D
C D Em G

[Verse 2]
C
You’re not worth my color
D
You’re not worth another
Em
Headache, you’re dead weight
D
You’re gonna be just like your mother
C
I tried to make life a movie
D
Yeah, here, I got you a preview
Em
I had 101 wishes
G
And lost them all on you

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I think I talk too much
I try to walk it off
D
But now you got your gloves
And now you boxed me out
Em
I’m out the ring
But the only ring I want
D
Is the ring around your finger
But your middle one’s up
I’ve had enough
C
I try to brush it off
‘Cause you’re my confidante
D
So let’s talk
Share secrets
Em
I’ve got some dirty laundry
G C
Can you keep it?

How to play Reboot: key, chords and progression

Reboot by Waterparks sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: C, D, Em and G.

Listen for C – D – Em – D (IV – V – vi – V in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
