[Intro]
  B

[Verse 1]
 B                                  E
Inside jokes that I never know, but I
still laugh until I cry
   B                                       E
Group photos but I’m standing off to the side
I’m just camera shy

[Pre-Chorus]
       B                 Bmaj7
always at the birthday parties,
 E             Em
never close to anybody

[Chorus]
            B
I’ve been chosen last since 
the kindergarten,
      Bmaj7
Walk in the grass, and it’s 
disregarded
 E
Fast walk to the lunch table
 Em
and pack up before I’m ready to go
         B
I don’t speak my mind, I just 
sit and listen,
     Bmaj7
I’m there on time, cause they
 won’t know I’m missing
  E
Sometimes I would rather stay home
  Em
Than show up to be ignored and alone

[Verse 2]
 B                      
Carpool everywhere, but 
                E
there’s never room,
for me to go too
 B                      
Ride my bike like all of 
             E
us used to do
Oh I don’t have a clue

       B               Bmaj7
Why i’m at the birthday parties
  E                  Em
when i’m not close to anybody

[Chorus]
            B
I’ve been chosen last since
 the kindergarten,
      Bmaj7
Walk in the grass, and
 it’s disregarded
 E
Fast walk to the lunch table
 Em
and pack up before i’m ready to go
         B
I don’t speak my mind,
 I just sit and listen,
     Bmaj7
I’m there on time, cause they 
won’t know I’m missing
  E
Sometimes I would rather stay home
  Em

How to play Chosen Last: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Chosen Last by Sara Kays on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Chosen Last by Sara Kays keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 4 chords: B, E, Bmaj7 and Em.

The backbone of the song is B – Bmaj7 – E – Em (V – Vmaj7 – I – i in E major). In solfa, that is soh – soh – doh – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes A, D, Amaj7, Dm (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
