How to play Cringe on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 120 bpm. This arrangement is in F major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Play the verses lightly then hit the chorus harder for the big lift.

I like Dm instead of dm7 but otherwise this sounds good!
it is really easy to play if you good at finger placement, the only struggle is Bb. it is tough on my hands bc they are weak and small, but other than that it is really good, no transpose needed!
okok does it actually not say “she said your just tired I said I’m just tired” Because it says ‘high’ and I just- I dunno
Transposing to -3 is easiest for me
