Artist: Frank Ocean

I'm not 100% on these chords, but this just how I play it.
Lyrics from genius.com
Listening to the song while playing, as always, would probably be super helpful!

I usually pick the root note with my thumb
and use my other fingers to pluck the rest of the chord.

Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7         DmDm
 I thought that I was dreaming
          A minorAm     DmDm
 When you said you loved me
         Cmaj7Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
          DmDm
 I had no chance to prepare
          A minorAm   DmDm
 I couldn't see you coming
         Cmaj7Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
     DmDm      A minorAm
 I could hate you now
            DmDm
 It's quite alright to hate me now
Cmaj7Cmaj7          DmDm
 When we both know that deep down
          A minorAm        DmDm
 The feeling still deep down is good


Verse 1:
Cmaj7/G         Bbmaj7/F
 If I could see through walls I could see you're faking
Cmaj7/G       Bbmaj7/F
 If you could see my thoughts you would see our faces
Cmaj7/G      Bbmaj7/F          DmDm
 Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
         Cmaj7Cmaj7
 We didn't give a fuck back then
      E minorEm
 I ain't a kid no more
DmDm          E minorEm
 We'll never be those kids again
        Cmaj7Cmaj7      DmDm
 We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then
Cmaj7/G    Bbmaj7/F
 Back then
         Cmaj7/G
 No matter what I did
          Bbmaj7/F    Cmaj7/G
 My waves wouldn't dip back then
      Bbmaj7/F
 Everything sucked back then
     DmDm
 We were friends

Chorus:
           Cmaj7Cmaj7
 I thought that I was dreaming
          Cmaj7/A   DmDm
 When you said you loved me
         Cmaj7Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
          DmDm
 I had no chance to prepare
          Cmaj7Cmaj7  DmDm
 I couldn't see you coming
         Cmaj7/G
 It started from nothing
     Bbmaj7/F
 I could hate you now
Cmaj7/G        Bbmaj7/F
 It's quite alright to hate me now
Em/B          C majorC
 But we both know that deep down
   Em/B     A minorAm        DmDm
 The feeling still deep down is good


 Verse 2:
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
 In the halls of your hotel
Cmaj7/G    Bbmaj7/F
 Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
Em/B           C majorC      Em/B    DmDm
 How much I meant to you...meant it sincere back then
        E minorEm
 We had time to kill back then
       Cmaj7Cmaj7    DmDm
 You ain't a kid no more
           A minorAm     DmDm
 We'll never be those kids again
       Cmaj7Cmaj7     DmDm
 It's not the same, ivory's illegal
         A minorAm  DmDm
 Don't you remember?
       Cmaj7/G
 I broke your heart last week
     Bbmaj7/F          Cmaj7/G
 You'll probably feel better by the weekend
    Bbmaj7/F
 Still remember, had you going crazy
 Cmaj7/G
 Scream my name
   Bbmaj7/F       E minorEm
 The feeling deep down is good


Chorus:
Cmaj7Cmaj7         DmDm
 I thought that I was dreaming
          A minorAm    DmDm
 When you said you loved me
         Cmaj7Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
          DmDm
 I had no chance to prepare
         A minorAm   DmDm
 Couldn't see you coming
           Cmaj7/G
 And we started from nothing
    Bbmaj7/F    Cmaj7/G
 I could hate you now
         Bbmaj7/F
 It's alright to hate me now
Cmaj7Cmaj7       DmDm
 We both know that deep down
          A minorAm        DmDm
 The feeling still deep down is good


Outro:

Cmaj7/G         Bbmaj7/F
 All the things I didn't mean to say
     Cmaj7/G  Bbmaj7/F
 I didn't mean to do
Cmaj7Cmaj7             A minorAm
 There were things you didn't need to say
    Cmaj7Cmaj7   DmDm
 Didn't need to...need to
     Cmaj7/G
 I could dream all night,
 Bbmaj7/F    Cmaj7/G  Bbmaj7/F
 Dream all night
     Cmaj7/G
 I could drive all night
 Bbmaj7/F     Cmaj7/G  Bbmaj7/F
 Drive all night
 Cmaj7/G
