So I was just casually playing this song and I suddenly realized that Lorde used the same EXACT chord
progression as I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miz and I was a bit #shook about it. Anyway...
Another thing I discovered is that none of the tabs quite do justice to the song... so yeah.
Lemme explain it a bit for ya tho: while the chords are playing, the bass notes do some kind of scale downward
throughout the verse, until the A kicks in and she basically plays A, B, C# and E upward.
So, while the rest of the song plays the chords, the bass notes do: D, C#, B, A, G, F# and E downward -- then
A, B, C# and E upward, and then you go back to the D. It's the same throughout the whole song.
It looks quite difficult but it isn't, I swear. You just need to get into the mindset. At least, on piano and
uke (my instruments) it doesn't, maybe it will on guitar.
For any of you who might be wondering: yes, Bm7 and D6 are the same notes (arranged differently, but the same
notes). No it's not the same thing (kinda why the bass notes are different).

[Verse]
Baby real
ly hurt me
Crying in the
taxi
He don't wanna
know me
Says he made t
he big mistake
of dancing in
my storm
Says it was po
/
ison
So I guess I'l
l go home
Into the arms
#
of the girl th
at I love
The only love
I haven't scre
wed up
She's so hard
to please
But she's a fo
rest fire
I do my
best to meet
her demands
Play at romanc
e, we slow dan
ce
In the living
room, but all
that a strange
r would see
Is one girl sw
aying alone
Stroking her c
heek
[Chorus]
They say, "You
're a little m
uch for me
You're a liabi
lity
You're a littl
#
e much for me"
So they pull b
ack, make othe
r plans
I understand,
I'm a liabilit
y
Get you wild,
make you leave
I'm a little m
uch for
E-a-na-na-na,
everyone
[Verse]
The truth is I
am a toy that
people enjoy
'Til all of th
e tricks don't
work anymore
And then they
are bored of m
e
I know that it
's exciting
Running throug
h the night, b
ut
Every perfect
summer's
Eating me aliv
e until you're
gone
Better on m
y own
[Chorus]
They say, "You
're a little m
uch for me
You're a liabi
lity
You're a littl
#
e much for me"
So they pull b
ack, make othe
r plans
I understand,
I'm a liabilit
y
Get you wild,
make you leave
I'm a little m
uch for
E-a-na-na-na,
everyone
[Outro]
They're gonna
watch me
Disappear into
the sun
You're all gon
na watch me
Disappear into
the sun
