This is the chord progression of Didnt Know What I Was In For by Better Oblivion Community Center on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1: Phoebe Bridgers]
D
My telephone, it doesn\’t have a camera
D D/G
If it did I\’d take a picture of myself
D
If it did I\’d take a picture of the water
D/C# D
And the man on the offramp
D D/G D
Holding up the sign that\’s asking me for help
D D/C#
I got a job and I\’ll work here for the summer
D D/B
I fold the towels and set them by the pool
D
Everyone looks happy with each other
D/C# D D/B
\’Til they step away and say the thing they really meant
D
They always sound so cruel
[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
Asus4 G5
I didn\’t know what I was in for
D G6/B
When I signed up for that run
Asus4 G5
There\’s no way I\’m curing cancer
Em9
But I\’ll sweat it out
D/G D
I feel so proud now for all the good I\’ve done
[Verse 2: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
D D/B
I know a girl who owns a boutique in the city
D D/B
Selling clothes to the fashionably late
D D/B
Says she cries at the news but doesn\’t really
D/C# D D/B D
Cause it\’s too much fondness, too much time and too much plastic money to be made
[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
Asus4 G
I didn\’t know what I was in for
D G6/B
When they took my belt and strings
Asus4 G5
They told me I\’d gone crazy
Em9
My arms are strapped in a straight jacket
D/G D
So I couldn\’t save those TV refugees
Em9
When they\’re on their backs
D/C#
In a bloody bath
D
Full of Sarin gas
D/G
On a screen
[Chorus: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
Em9 G5
I didn\’t know what I was in for
D G6/B
When I laid out in the sun
Asus4 G5
We get burned for being honest
Em9 D/G D
I\’ve really never done anything, for anyone
[Outro: Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst]
D
To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me
D D/B
Otherwise I have to listen to me think
Asus4 G6/B
Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out
D/C# D Dsus2/G
Sit on the couch and think about how living\’s just a promise that I made
