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

[Intro]
G Em Am D

[Verse 1]
Em          Am               C
I feel it again, edge of the bed
         D              
Body and head protesting,
    Em             Am
 my  stomach's in knots
              C          
I don't wanna talk, let's 
            D
just go to bed or somethin'
Bm                       Am
Maybe it'll fix itself tomorrow
    Bm                   
But I've been sayin' that
            Em D
 like every night

[Pre-Chorus]
G                 Em           
You say you can't stand to watch 
     Am           D
me cry a minute more
G             Em         
So you do the noble thing
     Am          D
 and open up the door

[Chorus]
   G               G/F#   
If loving me means letting 
        F              E
go and wishing me the best
Am
  Then I guess
  D                      
I wish, I wish, I wish you
          G    F# Am D
 loved me less

[Verse 2]
Em               Am               C
We tried to recreate our favorite date
              D
But we didn't laugh much this time
   Em            Am          C
Our  trip to Big Sur only confirmed
                D
This isn't what it should feel like
    Bm                       Am
And maybe I'm a stubborn overthinker
    Bm                             Em D
But I've been thinkin' over this a lot

[Pre-Chorus]
    G              Em         
And I could try convincing you
         Am             D
 they're just intrusive thoughts
           G             Em   
But you've seen me truly happy, 
         Am                 D
so you know right now I'm not

[Chorus]
   G               G/F#  
If loving me means cryin' 
        F         E
on the curb at LAX
Am
  Well, then I guess
  D                   
I wish, I wish, I wish 
             G     F# Am D
you loved me less

[Instrument]
C Em Bm Em
Am D

[Chorus]
   G               G/F#         
If loving me means sayin', "Babe,
    F                 E
 I think this is the end"
Am
  I guess
  D                       
I wish, I wish, I wish you
          G   F# Am D D7
 loved me less

How to play Less: key, chords and progression

Less by Olivia Rodrigo keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 11 chords: G, Em, Am, D, C, Bm, G/F#, F, E, F# and D7.

Listen for G – Em – Am – D (I – vi – ii – V in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – lah – reh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm, F and F# are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
