Cadd9 Never been the type to F Cadd9 Let someone see right through, ooh Chorus: F Baby, won't you take it back? Dm Say you were tryna make me laugh G And nothing has to change today Am You didn’t mean to say "I love you" C F Cadd9 I love you and I don't want to, ooh Verse 2: F Up all night Cadd9 On another red-eye F Cadd9 We wish we never learned to fly high F Maybe we should just try Cadd9 To tell ourselves a good lie F Cadd9 I didn't mean to make you cry, I Chorus: F Baby, won't you take it back?

i freaking love Billie Eilish!
Lot’s of people are saying Em is better than Cadd9 and it is for parts of the song, but Cmaj7 is good for almost all of the song in my opinion.
Yeah hi. Just thought this might help. Instead of F, trying doing 2-0-1-2 (cant find the chord name lol) for the verses, not for the chorus/outro though. And instead of using cadd9, try using cmaj7 (i saw a lot commented to use cm but i think cmaj7 is the most accurate). and alsooo, this isnt really super duper accurate but try playing it with tabs like this, its kinda close to how its spose to sound. dont hate pls i just made it up haha
vvv
E – x – 2 – x – x – x – 2 – x – x – x – 2 – x – x – x – 2 – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x l
A – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – x – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – x – x – x – x – 0 – x – x l
C – x – x – x – x – x – x – x – 1 – x – x – x – x – x – x – x – 1 – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – x – 0 – x – x – 0 – x – x – x – x – 0 – x l
G – 2 – x – x – 2 – x – x – x – x – 2 – x – x – 2 – x – x – x – x – 2 – x – x – 2 – x – x – x – x – 2 – x – x – 2 – x – x – x – x – 2 l
(then repeat through out verse)
(the plucking pattern is kinda repetitive so try doing the pattern with the chor/outro chords, if you feel like it. whatever feels right for you)
have a nice day y’all
I used Em instead of Cadd9, that’s just my preference
I like to pluck the verse, into and outro in a 3 1 2 1 pattern and single down strums on on the chorus. Hope this helps
ok but whats the strumming pattern??
Absalutaly beautiful on ukulele. And its easy too!
Is there another way to play the chord Cadd9?
You can also do Am then Em for the verses. On the chorus instead of playing Dm just play F then G. I use the DDUUDU strums the whole time. I hope this helps. 🙂
strumming pattern i use is D D UU UDUD
i love billie with all my heart she literally saved my life
I use Em instead of Cadd9
I also use UDDU
super simple strumming pattern for this song ^^
Love BILLIE
I LOVE BILLIE
I think it’s more accurate to use fmaj7 instead of F and cmaj7 instead of cadd9..
Billie u r the best! I’m gonna do a cover of this song with my uke!?
i play cm instead of cadd9 i think it sounds better but just a personal preference. awesome though thanks!
