Doors - Noah Kahan
Tuning: , D G C F A D
This sheet is based on his live performance at Out of the Blue Fest.
I've also used a video of an Instagram-Live and snippets from tiktok to make this sheet.
This song also sounds great in open D.
He plays an Emaj7sus2(-ish) chord and an open C#m7 in the Verse and barre-chords in the chorus,
but you can also play Bm instead of Emaj7sus2 and a normal C#7
The formatting might seem weird sometimes, but it makes sense, once you play.

[Verse 1]
I grew up pret
ending sticks
were little gu
ns
I would point
'em at my dad,
and he'd get
mad
'Cause God for
bid I'd hurt s
omeone
I'd hurt anyon
e I could
Anyone who got
too close, an
d anyone who w
ouldn't look
[Verse 2]
I was born int
o a one hundre
d-year storm
Foot of ice ac
ross Vermont
And in that da
rk, and in tha
t frost, a hea
rt was formed
Malcontented a
nd unwarm
You were unpro
tected, not un
warned
[Chorus]
That I'm the t
rouble ahead,
and I scream i
n my sleep
You put your m
oney on red, I
'm a sure bet
at a losing st
( )
reak
I keep showing
you doors, bu
t you can't op
еn them up
It gets harder
to see mе the
closer you tr
y to look
[Post-Chorus]
I just live he
re, babe, but
you're the one
who decided t
o knock
You knock
[Bridge]
Have you ever
stared directl
y at the Sun?
Have you ever
shared some cl
oseness so exp
osed to have i
t spit back by
someone?
So, forgive me
if I jump
At the rattle
of your keys,
"Oh, are you l
eaving?", "No,
babe, I'm jus
t waking up"
But now what?
I'm left stari
ng at the ceil
ing, listing r
easons you sho
uld pack all y
our shit up
[Chorus]
That I'm the t
rouble ahead,
and I scream i
n my sleep
You put your m
oney on red, I
'm a sure bet
at a losing st
(
reak
I keep showing
you doors, bu
t you can't op
еn them up
It gets harder
to see mе the
closer you tr
y to look
[Post-Chorus]
I just live he
re, babe, but
you're the one
who decided t
o knock
You knock
I just live he
re, babe, but
you're the one
who decided t
o knock
You knock
(But you knocked
You knocked)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
That I'm the t
rouble ahead,
and I scream i
n my sleep
You put your m
oney on red, I
'm a sure bet
at a losing st
(
reak
I keep showing
you doors, bu
t you can't op
еn them up
It gets harder
to see mе the
closer you tr
y to look
[Post-Chorus]
I just live he
re, babe, but
you're the one
—
I just live he
re, babe, but
you're the one
—
I just live he
re, babe, but
you're the one
—
You're the one
—, you're the
one—
You're the one
—, you're the
one—
You're the one
—, you're the
one—
