Heartbreak Anthem

How to play Heartbreak Anthem by Galantis on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play C, Dm, Am, F, D, G and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Heartbreak Anthem is a strong pick if you want a bright, driving pop track that feels energetic but still manageable. At about 120 BPM, it gives you a steady pulse to lock into, so you can focus on clean changes and a confident groove.

The chart uses barre shapes throughout, so your main job is keeping your fretting hand relaxed and accurate. The opening move is C# - D#m - A#m - F#, and that same kind of shift is what you need to watch out for - moving smoothly between shapes without letting the rhythm sag.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until each change feels automatic. Then add the rest of the chart in small sections, keeping the beat steady, and only speed up once your barre pressure and transitions stay clean at tempo.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
