[Intro]
G    C


[Verse 1]
    Am             D               G
For years, I denied needing anyone else
     D            C               G
"I'm my own man," I kept telling myself
        Em                     A7
Till my heart got a glimpse of heaven
C                 G
Looking into your eyes
      Am                    C
Now I can't live without you
        D
And I realize


[Chorus]
       Em                       Bm7
I'd be back on the bottom with no hill to climb
   C                         G         D
If not for your love, I'd be out of my mind
  Em                        C
I can't see the future, but given that view
  Am             D          G
I know where I'd be without you


[Verse 2]
     Am             D            G
It's funny how pride can shackle a man
    D                   C                    G
And God's greatest gifts slip right through his hands
    Em                 A
I'm not gonna let mine win this time
    C               G
And get the best of me
          Am                C                D
'Cause if I lost your love, oh, I know where I'd be


[Chorus]
       Em                       Bm7
I'd be back on the bottom with no hill to climb
   C                         G         D
If not for your love, I'd be out of my mind
  Em                        C
I can't see the future, but given that view
  Am7            D       G
I know where I'd be without you


[Guitar Solo]
Bb  F  C  D


[Chorus]
       Em7                      Bm7
I'd be back on the bottom with no hill to climb
   C                         G         D
If not for your love, I'd be out of my mind
  Em                        C
I can't see the future, but given that view
  Am7            D       G
I know where I'd be without you


[Outro]
  Am7             D
I know where I'd be
     G       C    G
Without you

How to play I Know Where Id Be Without You: key, chords and progression

I Know Where Id Be Without You by Randy Travis is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 12 chords: G, C, Am, D, Em, A7, Bm7, A, Am7, Bb, F and Em7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bm7 – C – G – D (iii7 – IV – I – V in G major). In solfa, that is mi – fah – doh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm7, Bb and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
