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

[Refrain]
          F
But I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
      C              G
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
      F
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
      C              G
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)

[Chorus]
       Dm                     
And 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 
                         G/B
your love feels anymore
                   Dm   F
It'll never be the cure
                   C           G/B
It'll nеver be the curе, oh-oh-oh

[Refrain]
                    F
'Cause, baby, I'm unraveled 
(I'm unraveled)
      C              G
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
      F
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled)
      C              G      
I'm unraveled (I'm unraveled,
        F
 I'm unraveled)

[Bridge]
                             C
Why can't you come stitch me up?
 (I'm unraveled)
             G        F
Why can't it ever be enough? 
(I'm unraveled)
                             C
Why can't you come stitch me up? 
(I'm unraveled)
             G        F
Why can't it ever be enough? 
(I'm unraveled)
Ooh, ah-ah
          C     G/B
It's not enough

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

It'll never be

How to play The Cure: key, chords and progression

These are The Cure chords by Olivia Rodrigo for Piano and Ukulele.

The Cure by Olivia Rodrigo is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 8 chords: 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: almost every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
