[Verse 1]
E
People always say be true to yourself
B
In the ideal situation
 I'll be anyone else but me
A
It's fine, your fragile state of mind
B
Is just a part of growing up
 you'll look back on this time
    E
And,love,your struggle is your up
B
But don't struggle too much, 
you got a bleeding heart
A
And it's sad, you're mad, 
just call your mum and dad
B
And have them smooth a few things over,
 you're a growing lad

But this is really what you wanted

Why did you try to suffocate me

People always say have faith in yourself

If I can get out of bed I'll show ya

Just how much I can succeed

How to play Underachiever: key, chords and progression

This is the chord progression of Underachiever by Noah Finnce on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Underachiever by Noah Finnce keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 4 chords: E, B, A and D.

Most of the song cycles through E – D – A – E (I – ♭VII – IV – I in E major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, A, G, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
