[Intro]
E A C#m A

[Verse 1]
    E
And darling
                         A
Is there a cure for this hunger?
                       C#m
A terrible curse to be under
               A
I'll be sleeping with that
            E
And it's no small thing
                            A
You'll smoke me out in your own ways
                          C#m
And chase me around until morning
          A
And follow me by

[Verse 2]
    E
And lovely
                     A
Tearing me down with your cheekbones
                          C#m
They're warm but they hit me like sharp stones
         A
You pull away
      E
Now I walk slow
                            A
I wander the streets in the morning
                            C#m
Still smell your sin like a warning
            A
When the wind blows
                E
Oh, when the wind blows

E A C#m A

[Verse 3]
   E
So leave me
When you're sleeping 
             A
alone in the basement
And my parents are 
             C#m
home but I'm vacant
            A
And I'm watching the news
           E
'Cause I'm slow now
I'm young but 
               A
I feel like an old man
                     C#m
Tarring my lungs and these 
cold hands
           A
They held onto you

[Verse 4]
    E
No, keep me
Inside of your mind
      A
Where you're raking
                      C#m
Lord 'cause for now we're mistaken
            A
In thinking we fit
        E
God, stay steady
Our nights are ablaze
     A
And it's heavy
                 C#m
Alone in my room and I'm ready
            A
Dressed for a while
                E
Oh, dressed for a while

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

And I don't mind it

I don't mind it

I don't mind it

How to play New Song: key, chords and progression

New Song by Maggie Rogers feat. Del Water Gap is centred on E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 3 chords: E, A and C#m.

The progression the song keeps returning to is E – A – C#m – A (I – IV – vi – IV in E major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: C#m is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
