But you found me when I was broken

Put me back together, gave me life

Like a flower in the concrete

So beautiful and rare

You gave me hope when I was empty
                                     D
Walked me through the fire, you were there

How to play You: key, chords and progression

You by LANY keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 9 chords: D, Bm, G, F, Dm, Bb, A, C and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – Bm – G – D (V – iii – I – V in G major). In solfa, that is soh – mi – doh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm, F and Bb need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
