Am
Ich seh' Mondschein und die Luft kalt
G
Weil man mich nur sieht bei Mitternacht
Tut mir leid an mich selbst
F
Ich begleite mich jetzt und ihr schläft bei Mitternacht
Und ihr liebt nur euch und eure Art
Em
Und ihr verdient es nicht
Kalt, immer kalt, bleibt immer kalt, kalt
Immer kalt, immer kalt, bleibt immer kalt, kalt, immer
Am
Tut mir leid an mich selbst
Ich hab' wieder zu spät erkannt, wer mich von euch hält
G
Keine Pretty Little Liars Session ohne Weißwein
Für euch war ich wichtig, wenn ich Teil eurer Zeit war
F
Und vielleicht war ich mit fünfzehn verliebt
Manche Leute denken, in dem Alter bist du naiv
Em
Sechs Jahre später immer noch derselbe Stress
Nach sechs Jahr'n finde ich, wie ich mich selber brech'
Am
Im S Coupé spät bei Nacht
Deine Message kam viel zu spät bei mir an
G
Und ich fahr', egal wohin es mich treibt
Deine Worte setzen mich heute Nacht frei
F
Du weißt, es ist zu spät, wenn immer irgendjemand weint
Em
Ich bin allein, lieber allein
Am
Ich seh' Mondschein und die Luft kalt
G
Weil man mich nur sieht bei Mitternacht
Tut mir leid an mich selbst
F
Ich begleite mich jetzt und ihr schläft bei Mitternacht
Und ihr liebt nur euch und eure Art
Em
Und ihr verdient es nicht
Kalt, immer kalt, bleibt immer kalt, kalt
Immer kalt, immer kalt, bleibt immer kalt, kalt, immer
Am
Ja, kann sein, wir sind Familie
Doch seit wann redet man so über die Familie
G
Kann verzeih'n, kein Problem, aber nicht beibringen
Wie man, wenn man sich liebt, nicht mit Feinden spricht
F
Es muss in dir sein, dieses Echtsein
Oder aus meinem Leben dann weg sein
Em
Oh, kalt, immer kalt, kalt, immer kalt, kalt
Bleibt kalt, immer kalt, kalt, immer kalt, kalt
Am
Im S Coupé spät bei Nacht
Deine Message kam viel zu spät bei mir an
G
Und ich fahr', egal wohin es mich treibt
Deine Worte setzen mich heute Nacht frei
F
Du weißt, es ist zu spät, wenn immer irgendjemand weint
Em
Ich bin allein, lieber allein
Am
Ich seh' Mondschein und die Luft kalt
G
Weil man mich nur sieht bei Mitternacht
Tut mir leid an mich selbst
F
Ich begleite mich jetzt und ihr schläft bei Mitternacht
Und ihr liebt nur euch und eure Art
Em
Und ihr verdient es nicht
Kalt, immer kalt, bleibt immer kalt, kalt
Immer kalt, immer kalt, bleibt immer kalt, kalt
Am G
Kalt, kalt, immer /fade

Harmony analysis
Ayliva – Immer Kalt: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Am and ends on G. Its chords belong to both C major and Am, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
A minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = F (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = G (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A minor side because it opens on Am and Am is heard 8 times while C never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from C major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is C major and its relative A minor (no sharps or flats). 4 different chords appear 30 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- Em Am Ciii → vi Amv → inatural-minor cadence ×7
The move to watch is Em → Am, heard 7 times. From the Am side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the C side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- C major pentatonic and A minor pentatonic are the same five notes (C – D – E – G – A): start from C for a brighter phrase, from A for a bluesier one.
- Over Am, land on A, C, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over G, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Am, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is Am, G, F, Em — vi–V–IV–iii from the C side, i–VII–VI–v from the Am side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Em → Am (iii → vi in C, v → i in Am): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on G, letting the C side have the last word.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
