Performance @ Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour

Key: F

🎸 Intro:

A#

🎸 Verse 1:
D#     A#      Gm            F
Fatefully, I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
D#   A#     Gm       F
Misery, like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
D#    A#
 And you passed right by
Gm           F
I was in the alley surrounded on all sides
D#     A#
 The knife cuts both ways
    Gm           F
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break

🎸 Chorus 1:
D#          A#
 And I fell from the pedestal
        Gm
Right down the rabbit hole
      F
Long story short, it was a bad time
D#        A#
 Pushed from the precipice
       Gm
Clung to the nearest lips
      F
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
D#    A#
 Now I'm all about you
Gm  F
 I'm all about you, ah-ah
A#   D#
 Yeah, yeah
Gm  F
 I'm all about you, ah-ah
A#   D#
 Yeah, yeah
Gm  F
 I'm all about you

🎸 Verse 2:
A#          F              D#
I used to think one day, we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
A#         F              D#
 And people would say, they're the lucky ones

A#         F              D#
I used to know my place was the spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
A#              F            D#
 'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
F          Gm
Oh, a simple complication
     D#       A#
Miscommunications lead to fall-out
D#
So many things that I wish you knew
F
So many walls that I can't break through

🎸 Chorus 2:
A#         F          D#
Now I'm standing alone, in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
A#         F          D#
 And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
Gm          F            A#
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
         D#
When it all broke down
    Gm          F          D#
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
N.C.

🎸 Bridge:
C*
 This is looking like a contest
D#
 Of who can act like they care less
Gm             F        D#
But I liked it better when you were on my side
A#
 The battle's in your hands now
D#
 But I would lay my armor down
  Gm         F         D#
If you said you would rather love than fight

🎸 Bridge 2:
D#    A#    Gm          F
 Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
D#       A#    Gm        F
 Your nemeses, will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
D#     A#
 And he's passing by,
Gm            F
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
D#    A#
 And he feels like home
    Gm           F
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go

🎸 Chorus 2:
A#         F          D#
But I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
A#         F          D#
 And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
Gm          F            A#
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
          D#
'Cause we're going down
    Gm          F          D#     A# F
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

🎸 Outro:
D#
 And we're not speaking
A#         F          D#
 And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
Gm          F            A#
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
          D#
'Cause we're going down
    Gm          F          D#
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
N.C.
The end!
