Eb  Cm  Gm  Ab

Eb        Cm           Gm      Ab
I found a guy, told me I was a star
Eb          Cm            Gm          Ab
He held the door, held my hand in the dark
         Cm         Gm             Ab
And he's perfect on paper but he's lying to my face
        Cm                 Gm             Ab
Does he think that I'm the kinda girl who needs to be saved

Eb  Cm  Gm  Ab

            Eb       Cm         Gm     Ab
And there's one more boy he's from my past
   Eb      Cm          Gm     Ab
We fell in love but it didn't last
             Cm       Gm               Ab
'Cause the second I figure it out he pushes me away
       Cm              Gm                Ab
And I won't fight for love if you won't meet me halfway
     Bb                             Bb7
And I say that I'm through but this song's still for you

Ab      Bb                Cm
All I want is love that lasts
                            Ab
Is all I want too much to ask
         Bb           Cm
Is it something wrong with me
Ab    Bb             Cm
All I want is a good guy
                            Ab
Are my expectations far too high
       Bb                  Eb
Try my best but what can I say
                Cm                     Ab
All I have is myself at the end of the day
Bb                           Eb  Eb  Cm  Gm  Ab
Shouldn't that be enough for me
 
Eb  Bb  Ab
Ooh ooh ooh

      Eb       Cm
And I miss the days
           Gm         Ab
When I was young and naive
              Eb       Cm                Gm   Ab
I thought the perfect guy would come and find me
Bb                                    Bb7   C
Now happy ever after it don't come so easily

Bb    C                 Dm
All I want is love that lasts
                          Bb
Is all I want too much to ask
      C                    Dm
Is it something wrong with me
Bb     C              Dm
 All I want is a good guy
                            Bb
Are my expectations far too high
       C                   F
Try my best but what can I say
                Dm                     Bb
All I have is myself at the end of the day

Analysis

The key pair is Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 10 different chords appear 94 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. C, F act as secondary dominants, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.

Chord movement

Ab Eb EbIV → Iplagal cadence CmVI → III ×8
Ab Bb EbIV → VIV → V CmVI → VIIVI → VII ×7
Ab Cm EbIV → vi CmVI → iVI → i ×4
Bb Cm EbV → videceptive cadence CmVII → iAeolian arrival ×3
Bb Eb EbV → Iauthentic cadence CmVII → III ×2

The move to watch is Ab → Eb, heard 8 times. From the Eb side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Cm side it is VI → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

Eb major pentatonic and C minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Eb – F – G – Bb – C): start from Eb for a brighter phrase, from C for a bluesier one.
Over Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bb, land on Bb, D, F — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The opening Eb lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Ab, Cm, Bb, Gm; read them as IV–vi–V–iii in Eb or VI–i–VII–v in Cm. C adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Fm. Keep an ear on Ab → Eb (IV → I in Eb, VI → III in Cm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. The final chord is F; the ear comes to rest in Eb.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
