[Intro]
Em A D G G/F#

[Verse 1]
     Em              A
So I guess that it's true
         D            
Time can heal even the 
 G        G/F#
worst of wounds
        Em        A
And the clichés I knew
        D                G     G/F#
Seem so commonplace when I saw you
           Em          A
Let's just walk in the dark
        D            G    G/F#
Hop the fence in the park
     Em        A
Baby boy, honeybee
       D        D/C#
God, I love the way 
    Bm
you look at me

[Chorus]
Em                  A
  And it's too hard to
 describe this
D   D/C#  Bm
 In a way that feels honest
Em         A
  But even when I'm quiet
D            G       G/F#
 I love you, baby, I promise
Em             A            
  And I hope I never see what
  D         D/C#       Bm
 your face looks like goin'
Em         A                 
  A face I swear that I could
 D                   G
 spend my whole life knowin'
G/F# Em        A
Here's to hopin'

[Verse 2]
        Em          A
Pick mе up, walk me home
        D             
Man, it feels like God 
       G    G/F#
thrеw me a bone
       Em          A
Sticky sweet, tangerine
          D               G    G/F#
Would you sit and keep me company?
       Em            A
In the dark, I'm not scared
       D         F#m   
I just reach and you're
       G     G/F#
 right there
         Em             A
Shooting stars, missing cards
     D       D/C#     Bm   
Everything I own just feels
        Em
 like ours

How to play Honeybee: key, chords and progression

These are Honeybee chords by Olivia Rodrigo for Piano and Ukulele.

Honeybee by Olivia Rodrigo is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 8 chords: Em, A, D, G, G/F#, D/C#, Bm and F#m.

Listen for G – G/F# – Em – A (IV – IV – ii – V in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – fah – reh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Dm, G, C, F, Am, Em (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
