Bm    A    D    Em    F#m

Bm                      F#m
Bazen daha fazladır her şey
    Em             D
Bi eşikten atlar insan
   Gmaj7            F#m
Yüzüne bakmak istemez yaşamın
  Em                 D
O kadar azalmıştır anlam

Bm                             F#m                                        
O zaman hemen git radyoyu aç bi şarkı tut
    Em                            F#m
Ya da bi kitap oku mutlaka iyi geliyor
        Gmaj7                  F#m   
Ya da balkona çık bağır bağıra bildiğin kadar
       Em                   D
Zehir dışarı akmadan yürek yıkanmıyor

     Bm                          G 
Ama fazla da üzülme hayat bitiyor bir gün
Em              F#m
Ayrılıktan kaçılmıyor
     Bm                          G
Hem çok zor hem de çok kısa bir macera ömür
Em               F#m
Ömür imtihanla geçiyor

     Bm                        F#m
Ben bu yüzden hiç kimseden gidemem gitmem
A                            G
Unutamam acı tatlı ne varsa hazinemdir
Bm                                F#m
Acının insana kattığı değeri bilirim küsemem
A                           G      F#m
Acıdan geçmeyen şarkılar biraz eksiktir

Bm    F#m   A   Em   F#m

Bm                         F#m                                       
Bi şiirden bi sözden bi meledodiden bi filmden
     Em                            F#m   
Geçirip güzelleştirmeden can dayanmıyor
    Bm                                 F#m
Yıldızların o ışıklı fırçası azıcık değmeden
      Gmaj7              F#m
Bu şahane hüzün tablosu tamamlanmıyor

Harmony analysis

Sezen Aksu – Gidemem: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Bm and ends on F#m. Its chords belong to both D major and Bm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

D major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = C# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = G (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

B minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = A (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it opens on Bm and Bm is heard 10 times against 4 for D. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 7 different chords appear 51 times in total; 7 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

F#m Bm Diii → vi Bmv → inatural-minor cadence ×6
A D DV → Iauthentic cadence BmVII → III ×1
G Bm DIV → vi BmVI → iVI → i ×1

The move to watch is F#m → Bm, heard 6 times. From the Bm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the D side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are F#m, Bm, Em, A; read them as iii–vi–ii–V in D or v–i–iv–VII in Bm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F#m → Bm (iii → vi in D, v → i in Bm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on F#m, the song seals D as home.

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.
