G D/F# Em C

[Verse 1]
     G         D/F#
Hey, you, it's younger you
         Em                
I'm just checking in to see
        C
 if you still remember me
     G         D/F#
Hey, you, it's younger you
       Em                   
Do you still pray before bed,
             C
 or are you worrying instead?

[Chorus]
       C                      
'Cause somewhere along the way,
          G
 we lost touch
   D                          Em
We used to be so happy just because
  C                          G/B
I know you had to go eventually
             D
But don't forget about me
Yeah, don't forget about me

     G         D/F#
Hey, you, it's younger you
              Em                
I know you're busy with your job,
                      C
 but don't forget to call your mom
        G       D/F#
And dad too, he misses you
       Em                     
He may tell you that he's fine,
             C
 but you'rе always on his mind

[Chorus]
       C                      
'Cause somewhere along the way,
          G
 we lost touch
   D                          Em
We used to be so happy just because
  C                          G/B
I know you had to go eventually
             D
But don't forget about me

Yeah, don't forget about me, no

When you're standing on the stars,

 just don't forget who you are

How to play Younger You: key, chords and progression

Younger You by Miley Cyrus is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 6 chords: G, D/F#, Em, C, D and G/B.

The backbone of the song is G – D/F# – Em – C (I – V – vi – IV in G major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
