Billie Eilish - Wildflower Chords

[Intro]
Cmaj7 Bm7 Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7             Bm7
     Things fall apart
                     Em
And time breaks your heart
 
I wasn't there but I know
Cmaj7             Bm7
     She was your girl
                   Em
You showed her the world
                                   Bm7 Cmaj7
You fell out of love and you both let go
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                          Bm7
She was cryin’ on my shoulder
                        Em
All I could do was hold her
                              Cmaj7
Only made us closer until July
                    Bm7
Now I know that you love me
                            Em
You don't need to remind me
                               N.C.
I should put it all behind me, shouldn't I?
 
 
[Chorus]
    Cmaj7            D                   B7     Em D
But I see her in the back of my mind all the time
     Cmaj7         D                       B7   Em
Like a fever, like I'm burning alive, like a sign
    D           Cmaj7
Did I cross the line?
  Bm7  Em D
(Mm) Hmm
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7                        Bm7
     Well, good things don't last
                  Em
And life moves so fast
                          Bm7 Cmaj7
I'd never ask who was better
                    Bm7
'Cause she couldn't be
                    Em
More different from me
                     Bm7  Cmaj7
Happy and free in leather
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                         Bm7
And I know that you love me
                         Em
You don't need to remind me
 
Wanna put it all behind me, but baby
 
 
[Chorus]
 Cmaj7           D                   B7     Em D
I see her in the back of my mind all the time
            Cmaj7           D                    B7   Em
Feels like a fever, like I'm burning alive, like a sign
    D    Cmaj7       D
Did I cross the line?
 
 
[Bridge]
(Cmaj7)        (D)
You say no one knows you so well (Oh)
    B7                              Em             D
But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Cmaj7                   D
Valentine's Day, cryin’ in the hotel
           B7                           Em
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself
 
And I wonder
    Cmaj7             D                    B7     Em
Do you see her in the back of your mind in my eyes
 
 
[Instrumental]
Cmaj7 D B7 Em
 
 
[Outro]
Cmaj7          D
You say no one knows you so well
    B7                              Em             D
But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Cmaj7                   D
Valentine's Day, cryin’ in the hotel
           B7                           N.C.
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself





How to play "Wildflower" by Billie Eilish on guitar

[Intro] Chords: Cmaj7, Bm7, Em.

Let's begin in Cmaj7. Put your middle finger on the second fret of the B string,
your ring finger on the third fret of the A string, and your index finger on the second
fret of the D string. Except for the low E, strum all the strings.

To move to Bm7, place your index finger on the second fret of the A string, middle
finger on the second fret of the G string, and ring finger on the second fret of the high
E string. Strum from the A string downwards.

- For Em, place your index and middle fingers on the second frets of the A and D strings,
respectively. Strum every string.

Play each chord with smooth, flowing strums to portray the song's meditative mood. 
Keep a steady rhythm.

[Verse 1.]
Chords: Cmaj7, Bm7, and Em

- Employ the chord structures from the introduction. Strive for seamless chord changes.
To draw attention to the lyrics, emphasize the downbeats.

[Pre-Chorus]
Chords: Cmaj7, Bm7, and Em

- Keep employing the same chord configurations. To convey the song's emotional
content, play it gently. Let every chord ring out completely.

[Chorus] Cmaj7, D, B7, Em.

- Position your index finger on the G string's second fret, your middle finger on
the high E string's second fret, and your ring finger on the B string's third fret to
play D. Struggle down from the D string.

- Position your index finger on the D string's first fret, your middle finger on the
A string's second fret, your ring finger on the G string's second fret, and your
pinky finger on the high E string's second fret in order to play B7.
Struggle down from the A string.

- Highlight the downbeat of each chord change to create a sense of urgency and intensity.

[Verse 2.]
Chords: Cmaj7, Bm7, and Em

- Use the same chord structures and strumming rhythm as in verse one.
Adapt your dynamics to the song's changing mood.

Aim for a powerful emotional effect when playing.

[Bridge] Chords: Cmaj7, D, B7, Em.

[Instrumental]: Cmaj7, D, B7, Em.

- Strum the chords gently to create a thoughtful instrumental break.
Allow each chord to ring out fully.

[Outro]: Chords: Cmaj7, D, B7, Em.

- To close the tune, repeat the chord pattern and soften your strumming
