[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

How to play New Song: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for New Song by Maggie Rogers feat. Del Water Gap on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

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.
