You think I’m pretty without any makeup on.

Teenage Dream’s chords and progression

Essentially a two chord song, Teenage Dreams chords only go from I – V. To spice that movement up, we first extend the chords, then add a passing note in the bass, like this:

||: Ebmaj7 (G) | Fsus4 :||

However, I prefer to call that G bass note a chord and to me it sounds best if you make it a Gm7.

Also, it is played pushed, meaning it comes in on the 4 +. Also, the F chord doesn’t start until 1 +. So it makes sense to put the chord in the next bar, like this:

||: Ebmaj7 | Gm7 Fsus4 :||

What’s really improtant when playing these chords is to get the rhythm right. Below is some notation for the main rhythm. There is also a guitar part that plays constant 8th notes shown.

Teenage Dream | Big chords and 8th note riff

Should you play Teenage Dreams in a band, it would be a good idea to swap between these two parts.

If you play the acoustic guitar, then you could use a loop pedal, feel free to change the chord shapes for the big chords to create some variation. Maybe only loop the 8th notes.

If you want to play finger style and don’t like loop pedals, here are Teenage Dreams chords arranged for that, using TAB.
