Repeat twice. Play softly and let each chord ring before starting the vocals.


Lyrics with Guitar Chords

English Intro

[Am] Girl we have not spoken since so long
[G] Trying to work out how the vibe is still so strong
[F] Although I am missing you
[C] My head is telling me to move on
[Am] But my hearts got me singing this song

Mukhda

[Am] Shayad kabhi na keh sakoon main tum ko
[G] Kahe bina samajh lo tum shayad
[F] Shayad mere khayaal mein tum ik din
[C] Milo mujhe kahin pe gum shayad

Chorus

[Am] Jo tum na ho, rahenge hum nahi
[G] Jo tum na ho, rahenge hum nahi
[F] Na chaahiye kuch tum se zyaada
[C] Tum se kam nahi

English Verse

[Am] I don't like seeing you with him
[G] It doesn't feel like tryin to call
[F] But I got too much pride
[C] I wish you could read my mind
[Am] Cause I have been thinkin about you all, this time
[G] If you feel the way I feel, just give me a sign oh oh oh
[F] Because you are the one for me I realize (oh, baby)

Chorus

[Am] Jo tum na ho, rahenge hum nahi
[G] Jo tum na ho, rahenge hum nahi
[F] Na chaahiye kuch tum se zyaada
[C] Tum se kam nahi

English Outro

[Am] I hope you know you are my everything
[G] I hope you know that I had do anything
[F] I hope you know you are my everything
[C] I hope you know, I hope you know that I had do anything
[Am] Just to have you back in my life for eternity

Repeat chorus until fade.


Easy Chord Progression

For absolute beginners, use just three chords:

Am → G → F

Play each chord for four beats. Focus on smooth transitions before adding the strumming pattern.

The F chord may be difficult for beginners. If you're not comfortable with barre chords, use an easier F shape or substitute with C.

Guitar Tip

Shayad is a bittersweet, emotional song about love, pride, and unspoken feelings. The music reflects the lyrics — melancholic, tender, and full of longing. To capture this feel:

  • Mukhda: Soft downstrokes, let the chords ring
  • English sections: Lighter strumming, almost conversational
  • Chorus: Slightly stronger strumming with emotional weight

Use a clean acoustic tone. No effects needed. This song sounds best with a natural, unprocessed guitar sound.

For maximum emotional impact, try fingerpicking during the mukhda. Use your thumb for bass notes and fingers for the higher strings. This creates a more intimate feel that matches the song's mood of quiet heartbreak.

Difficulty

Beginner / Intermediate – The main progression uses common open chords, making it accessible for beginners. The F barre chord may challenge absolute beginners. The main challenge is maintaining the emotional depth the song demands.
