Not sure what chords you are learning or what songs you like

In the public books section of chiordie there are some good song books for beginners. Have a look at those songs

Otherwise  there is a popular exercise for chord changes. Its called the circle of fifths
You play the following chords

C G D A E B F# C# G# D# A# E#
   
The first five chords are open chords (after that it gets tricky)

Try 1 4 and 5 chord progressions in different keys....example A D E...C F G...D G A   eight notes first note is #1 then count four and that will be the #4 then the fifth will be #5...that will cover lots of country, Rock, Blues, Gospel...I hope this makes sense and helps...
