Verse 1: B Hold my head a little higher A Can't you tell I love a liar? E I know what I look like to you B I would say it's excessive A Or maybe damn impressive E I'll admit I'm confused Pre-chorus: B I've gotta remember A That I'm just a toy E 'Til you got my hopes up E7 And now I'm annoyed B You thought you could charm me A And, damn it, you're right E So watch me fall for every damn stereotype Chorus: B You can't help it G D Gb This is just how we were taught to love B G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines Gb I hate that they shake me up every time Interlude: B Verse 2: B Hold my hand for just a second A See you soon, what do we reckon? E Maybe I'm not just a friend B But we're so close, I thought we'd kiss A Turns out you're just good at this E But how 'bout you do it again? Pre-chorus: B Oh no, I've gotta remember A That I'm just a toy E 'Til you got my hopes up E7 And now I'm annoyed B You thought you could charm me A And, damn it, you're right E So watch me fall for every damn stereotype Chorus: B You can't help it G D Gb This is just how we were taught to love B G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines Gb I hate that they shake me up every time B Guess I'll take it G D Gb This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines Gb I hate that they shake me up every time Bridge: Bm They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here Gb Why aim to be crushed here?" Bm They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here Gb Why aim to be crushed here?" Bm G D Gb B Oh, there's a name for boys like you Bm (They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here Gb Why aim to be crushed here?" Bm They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here Gb (nc) Why aim to") Chorus: Bm You can't help it G D Gb This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines Gb I hate that they shake me up every time Bm Guess I'll take it G D Gb This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines Gb (nc) I hate that they shake me up every time This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

8 ukulele chords used in "Boys Like You" by dodie: A, B, Bm, D, E, E7, Gb and G
-2 is really good for people who can *play* the e chord but aren’t *good* at it…
like me
I don’t really have a set strumming pattern, and it depends if you are singing it a bit faster than the song, in which I would use -2, and pluck the bottom three chords for each word. (KIND OF, I KNOW THAT THIS ISN’T HOW THE SONG GOES, BUT THIS IS WHAT I USE)
What’s a good strum pattern?
For the E chord:
Bar the 4th fret and the bottom string on the 7th
For the strumming pattern:
I do DD UU DU
Also I find ~2 to be easier
hope this helps 🙂
anyone know the strum pattern??
I really like this transposed to +3. Easy to play, but is better for higher singers.
