[Intro]
Am F Dm G
Am F Dm G

[Verse 1]
     Am    F
It's funny
          Dm                 G 
When your mom shows pictures of 
            Am F             Dm G
you in your   school clothes
     Am     F
Your buzzcut
    Dm                    G     
And scrapes on your knees change,
                Am F       Dm G
 but those eyes,  still no
         Am          F
And it's crazy (It's crazy)
      Dm            G         
How I used to visit your town
      Am     F   Dm G
 like a   tourist
    Am       F
Now I got (I got)
  Dm            G   
A local grocery store 
                Am    F Dm
and a favorite  florist
    G
And so it goes that

[Chorus]
C   F
You kiss my neck
        Bb                     
May our paths interset 'til the
 A                 C      F G#7 G
 two lines formed a circle
    C F                     Bb
And I melt with you, you're red
 and I'm blue
    A                 
Now I see the world in
G#     F        C
 purple, purple

[Verse 2]
      Am         F
Now a toothbrush
  Dm               G             
A coat and pair of shoes all come
   Am         F     
 in   double (Double, 
          Dm      G
double, double)
    Am       F
And we fight
     Dm              G       
Over who I'm hanging out with
       Am     F      
 like a  real couple 
                 Dm      G
(Couple, couple, couple)
       Am         
It's a small world 
       F
(It's a small world)
       Dm          G    
On and on again, revolve 
         Am F  Dm G
around us two
     Am          F
It's crazy (It's crazy)
      Dm            
I had big dreams 'til
    G              Am  F Dm
 I tied myself to you
        G
Now I'm all-consumed in

[Chorus]
C   F
You kiss my neck
        Bb                     
May our paths interset 'til the
 A                 C      F G#7 G
 two lines formed a circle
    C F                     Bb
And I melt with you, you're red
 and I'm blue
    A                 
Now I see the world in
G#     F        C F
 purple, purple


[Post-Chorus]
Bb                  A              
I see the world in, I see the world
   C        F               G#7    G
 in purple (Purple, purple, purple)
C F Bb                  A       
    I see the world in, I see the
          G#             
 world in purple (Purple,
          F
 purple, purple)

[Outro]
C                     Em
Melt with you 'til it all
 turns black
       F                  G#
Are we so in love? Are we too 
attached?
C                     Em
Melt with you 'til it all
 turns black
         F                     G#
When you smooth it out, but it feels 
too flat
C                     Em
Melt with you 'til it all
 turns black
         F               
When you get so close and
     G#
 you can't go back
C                     Em  
Melt with you 'til it all 
         F  G#
turns black
C                     Em  
Melt with you 'til it just
         F G# C
 feels sad

How to play Purple: key, chords and progression

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

Purple by Olivia Rodrigo is built around F major (one flat: B♭), with 10 chords in all: Am, F, Dm, G, C, Bb, A, G#7, G# and Em.

Listen for Am – F – Dm – G (iii – I – vi – II in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is mi – doh – lah – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F, Bb, G#7 and G# 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.
