Verse: Am C F I wanna be alone Am C F Alone with you, does that make sense? Am C F I wanna steal your soul Am C F And hide you in my treasure chest Verse: Am C F I don't know what to do Am C F To do with your kiss on my neck Am C F I don't know what feels true Am C F But this feels right so stay a sec Am C F Yeah, you feel right so stay a sec Chorus: E7 F And let me crawl inside your veins E7 F I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain Dm It's not like me to be so mean F You're all I wanted Dm F Just let me hold you Am C F Am C F like a hostage Verse: Am C F Gold on your fingertips Am C F Fingertips against my cheek Am C F Gold leaf across your lips Am C F Kiss me until I can't speak Verse: Am C F Gold chain beneath your shirt Am C F The shirt that you let me wear home Am C F Gold's fake and real love hurts Am C F And nothing hurts when I'm alone Am C F When you're with me and we're alone Chorus: E7 F And let me crawl inside your veins E7 F I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain Dm It's not like me to be so mean F You're all I wanted Dm F Just let me hold you Dm F Hold you Am C F Like a hostage Am C F Like a hostage Outro (x2): Am C F This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

5 ukulele chords used in "Hostage" by Billie Eilish: Am, C, Dm, E7 and F
Yowza these are the exact chords. Just what I needed to serenade my depression.
Ahaha…People think I’m kidding
Thanks! Sounds EXACTLY right at 0 and is really easy. Personally, instead of F on the very last “hold you”, I play E7. The actual song is just down on each chord once, no strumming pattern required. The “like a hostage” part is played just like the verses ((Am for 2 beats, C for 1 beat, F for 1 beat, rest for 3 beats)).
the E7 in this is so nice omg
These were really good chords for me.. it sounds better with my voice too, which really helps! Thank you so much! ☺️♥️
When I do “like a hostage” I kind of pick the strings and I do G, C, A. It sounds a little bit like the guitar in the actual song
i do single downstrums until the chorus then i do dduudu
This sounded so close to the original it completely calmed my anxiety. I also found that if you use a plucking pattern of 1 3 2 4 it sound soo cool.
Very good ! I use d,ddud for the strumming!
I think that this even sounds good with single strums. I live the E7, and it fits perfectly with my voice
What I do is go down 2 times on the Am then go with the C once and the same with the F.
Life would be so much easier if you could include the strumming pattern
My favourite song , I’m so happy the correct chords are here
DUU DU
I think instead of Em7, Em sounds better but thats just my opinion 🙂
Thankyou oml
I freaking love this song.
I love this!!!
For ppl wondering-
the strumming pattern is
Verse- D UU DU (Am)
DU (C)
D UU D UU DU (F)
Chorus- D UU D UU DU
is this suppose to be one stroke each for each chord???
What strumming pattern do we use?
