Verse: Bb F C When you fall asleep, Bb F with your head, Dm C upon my shoulder. Bb F C When you're in my arms, Bb F Dm C but you've gone somewhere deeper. Pre-chorus: Bb Dm F Are you going to age with grace? Bb Dm F C Are you going to leave a path to trace? (age without mistakes) Bb Dm F Are you going to age with grace? Bb Dm F C Or only to wake and hide your face. Chorus: Bb C F Well..oh, oblivion. Bb Dm F Is calling out your name. Bb C F You always take it further, Bb Dm F than I ever can. Verse: Bb F C When you play it harder, Bb F Dm C and I try to follow you there, Bb F C It's not about control, Bb F Dm C But I turn back when I see where you go. Pre-chorus: Bb Dm F Are you going to age with grace? Bb Dm F C Are you going to leave a path to trace? (age without mistakes) Bb Dm F Are you going to age with grace? Bb Dm F C Or only to wake and hide your face. Chorus: Bb C F Well..oh, oblivion. Bb Dm F Is calling out your name. Bb C F You always take it further, Bb Dm F than I ever can.

How to play Oblivion on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the whole-bar ballad: d – – –. Expect a relaxed pace, around 76 bpm. On this page the song is in F major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 brings you back to the key on this page. Let whole-bar chords ring and hold back until the strings enter.

-5 is simplest
I love this song and it sounds great, but the lyrics aren’t quite right as in the first pre-chorus it’s ‘are you going to age without mistakes’
and in the second it is ‘are you going to leave a path to trace’; also in the second pre-chorus it doesn’t say the second half – straight to chorus which repeats itself. 🙂
Strum?
+2 is easy and it sounds closer to the original
