[Intro]
Asus2 Cmaj7
Asus2 Cmaj7

[Verse 1]
Asus2                  
All the pretty girls in 
                      Cmaj7
the foreground of my mind
  Asus2                  
I thought I'd done enough,
                           Cmaj7
 but they keep moving the line
                        Fmaj7   
I thought I'd found the antidote
           Cmaj7
 this time
I thought I'd found the
 Fmaj7              Cmaj7
 antidote this time
Asus2                         
All the nights I spent fighting
                     Cmaj7
 bad thoughts in my room
            Asus2       
Feeling so alone, might 
                  Cmaj7
as well be on the moon
I thought I'd found the 
 Fmaj7             Cmaj7
antidote with you
                        Fmaj7   
I thought I'd found the antidote
          Cmaj7
 with you

[Chorus]
       Dm                    
But my head is full of poison,
         F
 and my heart is full of doubt
      C                       
I got toxins in my bloodstream, 
            G/B
you tried hard to suck 'em out
       Dm                   
And it feels like medication, 
           F
and it's good for me, I'm sure
             C              
But it don't matter how your 
                    G/B
love feels anymore
                   Dm   F
It'll never be the cure
                   C    G/B
It'll nеver be the curе

[Verse 2]
  Asus2                    
I used to play a game in my
                      Cmaj7
 head when I'd date a guy
Asus2                  
Tally up the girls that 
                           Cmaj7
he fcked 'til I start to cry
I thought I'd found the 
 Fmaj7              Cmaj7
antidote this time
I thought I'd found the
 Fmaj7         Cmaj7
 antidote this time

How to play The Cure: key, chords and progression

The Cure by Olivia Rodrigo is built around F major (one flat: B♭), with 8 chords in all: Asus2, Cmaj7, Fmaj7, Dm, F, C, G/B and G.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Dm – F – C – G/B (vi – I – V – II in F major). In solfa, that is lah – doh – soh – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
