Comfortable — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
8 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Comfortable" by John Mayer: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of Bb, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for navigating jazzy chord colors in a pop context — you'll cycle through eighteen distinct chords, including major sevenths, minor sevenths, and a Gdim7 that loves to sneak up on you.
Your left hand needs to stay relaxed through the mixed bass pattern; don't lock your wrist when jumping between the Bbmaj7 and Abmaj7 shapes, since that stretch trips up almost everyone the first few times.
Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM and really drill the Cm7–F7–Bbmaj7 progression until the voice-leading feels automatic in your fingers.
Watch the Bbm6 — it's a brief but expressive moment, and rushing past it kills the playful mood.
Once transitions feel smooth, bring the tempo up gradually to 120.
This is the piece that'll build your confidence with seventh-chord vocabulary, so lean into those rich sounds and let them ring.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "Comfortable" to match my voice or capo?

- Can I slow "Comfortable" down to learn the words and chords?
- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
