These are Moths chords by Conan Gray for Piano and Ukulele.

[Verse 1]
             C          
The door is closed, but
              Am7
 the window's open
               Fmaj7   
I'll leave the light on 
                  C
and I'll let the moths in
               C          
I'll keep your secrets and 
                 Fmaj7
I'll watch them follow you home
           D/C          
So keep on walking, just
         Fmaj7
 keep on walking

[Chorus]
            C
And I won't beg
           Am7b5
But if you need me
           F
Just turn around
           C
Just turn around

[Verse 2]
               C
Your brand-new friends
              Am7
You sure do look like a movie star
           Fmaj7
I loved a version of you 
that you're washing away
                         D/C 
And I've been drowning myself,
                      Fmaj7
 trying to cover the drain

[Chorus]
           C
So I won't beg
           Am7b5
But if you need me
           F
Just turn around
           C
Just turn around

[Bridge]
           C
And if you wanted, you could
 meet me on the other side
 of the street
A
 No touch, no kissing, 
let's just talk it out
        F                  
I'll meet you in the middle,
                       C
 I will always be your friend

[Chorus]
           C
So I won't beg (Might be missin'
 you forever, but 
you're every song I sing)
           Am7b5
But if you need me
 (And every letter, every word
 that we don't speak)
           Fmaj7
Just turn around (Holds us together,
 I will always be your friend)
           C
Just turn around (Friend)

[Outro]
            C     
The door is closed,
                   Am7b5
 but the window's open
               Fmaj7
I'll leave the light on

How to play Moths: key, chords and progression

Moths by Conan Gray is built around B♭ major (two flats: B♭, E♭), with 7 chords in all: C, Am7, Fmaj7, D/C, Am7b5, F and A.

The backbone of the song is Fmaj7 – D/C – Fmaj7 – C (Vmaj7 – III – Vmaj7 – II in B♭ major). In solfa, that is soh – mi – soh – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Am7b5 and F 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.
