[Introduction]
E B E B

[Verse 1]
E
I’m moving the through the night
B
My soul’s just a container
E
I can’t tell you what I’ll write
B
They’re words without the paper
E
Take my ego for a drive
B
Leave it out at the 110 sign
E
In the kitchen after five
B
In the hallway before nine

[Chorus]
E
And if it wasn’t for that time in the taxi
F#
When you called it out, you said it was anxiety
B
Well, you held me from the back of the front seat
E
And you told me all the times that you’d lied to me
E
Well, I felt like a kid, like I could touch my feet
F#
As they hovered above the ground in my booster seat
B
Oh-oh-oh
E
Well, it feels like that again

[Instrumental]
E B E B

[Verse 2]
E
Drink a jug of mind eraser
B
Feel it burn and watch it glow
E
All my friends on a retainer
B
And I’m almost out of dough

[Bridge]
B E
Oh, I’m waiting for it patiently
B E
My unmarked grave, my salty sea
B E
In my pants too short, in my shame up to my knees
B E
In a wave of guilt I roll and in a hurricane I breathe

[Intstrumental]
E B E B

[End]
E B E B

How to play Booster Seat: key, chords and progression

Booster Seat by Spacey Jane keeps coming home to B major (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯). You need 3 chords: E, B and F#.

Listen for B – E – F# – B (I – IV – V – I in B major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, A, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
