Intro: Cadd9 G I'm at a payphone trying to call home Em7 Dsus4 All of my change I spent on you Cadd9 Where have the times gone baby G Em7 Dsus4 It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two Verse: Cadd9 Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember G Em7 The people we used to be It's even harder to picture Dsus4 Cadd9 That you're not here next to me You say it's too late to make it G Em7 But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted Dsus4 Cadd9 All of our bridges burned down Pre-chorus: G Em7 I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights Dsus4 Cadd9 G Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love Em7 Dsus4 But even the sun sets in paradise Chorus: Cadd9 G I'm at a payphone trying to call home Em7 Dsus4 All of my change I spent on you Cadd9 Where have the times gone baby G Em7 Dsus4 It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two Cadd9 G If happy ever after did exist Em7 Dsus4 I would still be holding you like this Cadd9 G And all those fairytales are full of xxxx Em7 Dsus4 One more fucken love song I'll be sick Verse: Cadd9 G You turned your back on tomorrow Cause you forgot yesterday Em7 Dsus4 I gave you my love to borrow But you just gave it away Cadd9 G You can't expect me to be fine I don't expect you to care Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9 I know I've said it before But all of our bridges burned down Pre-chorus: G Em7 I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights Dsus4 Cadd9 G Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love Em7 Dsus4 But even the sun sets in paradise Chorus: Cadd9 G I'm at a payphone trying to call home Em7 Dsus4 All of my change I spent on you Cadd9 Where have the times gone baby G Em7 Dsus4 It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two Cadd9 G If happy ever after did exist Em7 Dsus4 I would still be holding you like this Cadd9 G And all those fairytales are full of xxxx Em7 Dsus4 One more fucken love song I'll be sick Cadd9 Now I'm at a payphone Verse: G man xxxx that xxxx I'll be out spending all this money Em7 while you're sitting round Wondering why it wasn't you who came Dsus4 up from nothing Made it from the botton Now when you see me I'm stunning Cadd9 And all of my cars start with a push of a button G Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call it Em7 Switched the number to my phone So you never could call it Dsus4 Don't need my name on my show You can tell it I'm ballin' Cadd9 Swish, what a shame could have got picked G Em7 Had a really good game but you missed your last shot So you talk about who you see at the top Dsus4 Or what you could have saw But sad to say it's over for Cadd9 Phantom pulled up valet open doors G Em7 Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for Now it's me who they want Dsus4 So you can go take that little piece of xxxx with you Chorus: Cadd9 G I'm at a payphone trying to call home Em7 Dsus4 All of my change I spent on you Cadd9 Where have the times gone baby G Em7 Dsus4 It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two Cadd9 G If happy ever after did exist Em7 Dsus4 I would still be holding you like this Cadd9 G And all those fairytales are full of xxxx Em7 Dsus4 One more fucken love song I'll be sick Cadd9 Now I'm at a payphone This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

4 ukulele chords used in "Payphone" by Maroon 5: Cadd9, Dsus4, Em7 and G
literally just play all the root chords instead C, G, Em, D
Sounds way clearer and brighter
Try playing:
Cadd9-C
G- G
Em7- Em
Dsus4- D
I love this song, but during the chorus I play Em instead of Em7, I like it slightly better.
for the rythm, try not playing the “normal” version. look up a video that is like acoustic gituar (or something like that=) and try going slow and feeling the meaning of the song more than the “catchiness” that we love fr the radio. instead of the Dsus4, i like just regular Dsus |2200| hope this helps!
What’s the strumming pattern??????
-2
+3 easiest and sounds ok
what’s the strumming pattern?
if you want to try something a little harder i’d recommend doing -2 and replacing Bbadd9 with Bb
what’s the strumming pattern?
strumming pattern?
use C instead of A
g Instead of Gbm7
D instead of Dadd9 and Em instead of Esus4
+5 works!
I like to use -2
put it on capo 3 to be in the same key as the original
What’s the strumming pattern? Or where do you find it?
Yey!
It is easier to play if you transpose it to +5
cydisar!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
+5
