[Intro]
Em G Am C

[Verse 1]
Em
Good times and bad times, 
I gave you my everything
G
I tried and I tried to 
love you through anything
 Am
Swore to each other we'd 
never be enemies
C
Why the fuck would you 
say that to me?

[Pre-Chorus]
              Em
Ain't nothing worse than
 somebody who
             G
Lies to your face and then 
swears it's the truth
              Am
If you have a heart,
 rip it up, let it bleed
'Cause you said you 
would die for me

[Chorus]
                   Em
You said you would die for me
                G
Said you would die for me
               Am
Don't leave me now when
 I need you the most
             C
Gave you my heart,
 don't you dare let it go
                Em
Said you would die for me
                G
Said you would die for me (Ooh)
               Am
Don't leave me now when
 I need you the most
                    C
You said you would die for me

You said you'd never,
           G
 never let me go

[Verse 2]
Em
2 a.m., you ain't home
Em
Called your friends, 
said you're gone
G
I'm not gonna wait up here
G                        
But go ahead and stay out 
        Am
there, oh-ooh
                             C
I'll sleep just fine without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
              Em
Ain't nothing worse than
 somebody who
             G
Lies to your face and then
 swears it's the truth
   Am
"I love you, I love you", 
you said it, ah
Am
Those empty words you 
was spitting out
    C
You told me you love me, 
you're lyin' now 
(You're lyin' now)

[Chorus]
N.C.            Em
Said you would die for me
                G
Said you would die for me (Ooh)
               Am
Don't leave me now, 
when I need you the most
            C
Gave you my heart, 
don't you dare let it go
                Em
Said you would die for me
                G
Said you would die for me (Ooh)
                Am
Don't leave me now when
 I need you the most
                    C
You said you would die for me
You said you'd never, 
           G
never let me go

Em
Die for me

[Outro]
                    G
You said you would die for me
               Am
Don't leave me now when
 I need you the most
                    C
You said you would die for me
You said you'd never, 
never let me go

How to play Die For Me: key, chords and progression

These are Die For Me chords by Zayn for Piano and Ukulele.

Die For Me by Zayn is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: Em, G, Am and C.

The backbone of the song is Em – G – Am – C (iii – V – vi – I in C major). In solfa, that is mi – soh – lah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
