Exile - The Bolter chords by Taylor Swift

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: C

Part 1:

C
 I can see you standing, honey
Am
 With his arms around your body
C                     Am
 Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
C
 And it took you five whole minutes
Am
 To pack us up and leave me with it
C                      Am
 Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

F       G         Am
 I think I've seen this film before
   G
And I didn't like the ending
F       G       Am
 You're not my homeland anymore
  G          F
So what am I defending now?
      G        Am        C
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
F       G         Am
 I think I've seen this film before

Transition:

  C
Cause Started with a kiss
                G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                   F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
    F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
           G
Then he'll call her a whore
        G
Wish he wouldn't be sore
        F
But as she was leaving
       F
It felt like breathing
G        Am
 All her fuckin' lives
          F
Flashed before her eyes
G         Am
 It feels like the time
           F
She fell through the ice
        C
Then came out alive

C F C

Part 2:

N.C.           G
He was a cad, wanted her bad
             F
Just like any good trophy hunter
             C
And she liked the way he tastes
             G
Taming a bear, making him care
                  F
Watching him jump then pulling him under
              C
And at first blush, this is fate
               G
When it's all roses, portrait poses
             F
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
            C
What a charming Saturday
                 G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks

Down in the floorboards
    F
And she just knows
  F
She must bolt

Transition:

F       G         Am
 I think I've seen this film before
   G
And I didn't like the ending
F       G       Am
 I'm not your problem anymore
  G         F
 So who am I offending now?
       G        Am        C   F
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
       G         Am
I think I've seen this film before
    G          C
So I'm leaving out the side door
      C
And it felt like breathing

Ooh
  C
It felt like
    C
It felt like breathing
G        Am
 All her fuckin' lives
          F
Flashed before her eyes
G         Am
 It feels like the time
           F
She fell through the ice
        C
Then came out alive

Part 3:

G
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
        C
First, they're off to the races
     C
And she's laughing drawin' aces
   G
But, none of it is changin'
     Am
That the chariot is waitin'
      C
Hearts are hers for the breakin'
      C
There's an escape in escaping

Final:

C
Started with a kiss
                G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                   F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
    F
Out the exile one evenin'
C
Ended with the slam of a door
            G
But she's got the best stories
      G
You can be sure
        F
That as she was leaving
    F
It felt like freedom
G        Am
 All her fuckin' lives
          F
Flashed before her eyes
      G
And she realized
         Am
It feels like the time
           F
She fell through the exile
     F
Then came out alive
