These are Cicada chords by Good Kid for Piano and Ukulele.

[Intro]
Em    A    Dmaj7    Bm7
Em    A    Dmaj7    Bm7

[Verse 1]
      Em              A
You're everything I'm thinking of
    Dmaj7            Bm7
From time to time and dust
 to dust
   Em              A    
Whenever there's a lull 
          Dmaj7
between the void
    Bm7
You fill the silence
Em             A
Languid on the couch
               Dmaj7  
Think I need to figure
          Bm7
 this one out
    Em                A
I'm lost beneath your cloud
            Dmaj7     
Can I keep my two feet 
        D
on the ground?

[Chorus]
Gmaj7        F#m7
Wake me, I'll love you tomorrow
Bm7          D
You leave me breathless and hollow
Gmaj7    F#m7
Lately, a tough pill to swallow
Bm7                D
But I'll try to compose
Gmaj7                 F#m7    
I could be, I suppose, someone
                  Bm
 you should get to know
Gmaj7                 F#m7    
I could be, I suppose, someone
                  Bm
 you should get to know
Em  A  Dmaj7  Bm7

Em  A  Dmaj7  Bm7

[Verse 2]
Em                 A
I could get lost in pillowed
 dreams
Dmaj7                Bm7
Caught in a stitch of what could be
Em                     A
Careful our time's not what it seems
  Dmaj7                  Bm7
So shake this one off and dance 
with me
      Em                  A
We're dancing through the house
Dmaj7           Bm7
Think we need to figure this one out
               Em   
Shaking like a loose 
               A
leaf from the spout
                 Dmaj7     Bm7
I think we need to think on this one


[Chorus]
Gmaj7        F#m7
Wake me, I'll love you tomorrow
Bm7          D
You leave me breathless and hollow
Gmaj7    F#m7
Lately, a tough pill to swallow
Bm7                D
But I'll try to compose
Gmaj7                 F#m7    
I could be, I suppose, someone
                  Bm
 you should get to know
Gmaj7                 F#m7    
I could be, I suppose, someone 
                  Bm
you should get to know

[Bridge]
Em  Bm  Em  Bm
A
I could be someone 
you should get to know!
D    A

Bm
I could be someone
 you should get to know!
Em  Bm  Em  Bm

A
I could be someone you
 should get to know!
D    A

Bm
I could be someone
 you should get to know!

Someone you should get to know

How to play Cicada: key, chords and progression

Cicada by Good Kid is centred on B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 9 chords: Em, A, Dmaj7, Bm7, D, Gmaj7, F#m7, Bm and E.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – A – Dmaj7 – Bm7 (iv – VII – IIImaj7 – i7 in B minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Dm, G, Cmaj7, Am7, C, Fmaj7, Em7, Am, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
