Long Story Short chords by Taylor Swift

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C

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

Chorus:
F          C
 And I fell from the pedestal
        Am
Right down the rabbit hole
      G
Long story short, it was a bad time
F        C
 Pushed from the precipices
       Am
Clung to the nearest lips
      G
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
F    C
 Now I'm all about you
Am  G
 I'm all about you, ah
C   F      G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C
I'm all about you, ah
   F      Em C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse 2:
F    C     Am        G
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view
F      C    Am        G
 Missing me, at the golden gates they once held the keys to
F    C
 When I dropped my sword
 Am             G
I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
F    C
 And we live in peace
    Am          G/B
But if someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready

Chorus:
F            C
 'Cause I fell from the pedestal
        Am
Right down the rabbit hole
      G
Long story short, it was a bad time
F        C
 Pushed from the precipices
       Am
Clung to the nearest lips
      G
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
F    C
 Now I'm all about you
Am  G
 I'm all about you, ah
C   F      G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C
I'm all about you

Bridge:
Am G/B     Dm
 No more keepin' score
      Am
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
  G/B     Dm
No more tug of war
      F         Am
Now I just know there's more (Know there's more)
  G/B     Dm
No more keepin' score
      Am
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
Am   Em       F
 And my waves meet your shore
     G
Ever and evermore

Verse 3:
F    C    Am         G
 Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
F      C    Am        G
 Your nemeses, will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
F     C
 And he's passing by
Am            G
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
F    C
 And he feels like home
    Am          G
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go

Chorus:
C          F
 And I fell from the pedestal
        G
Right down the rabbit hole
      C
Long story short, it was a bad time
        F
Pushed from the precipice
          Em
Climbed right back up the cliff
      C
Long story short, I survived
    F       G
Now I'm all about you, ah
  C
I'm all about you, ah
  F       Em
I'm all about you, ah
  C
I'm all about you, ah
   F      Em
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C
I'm all about you
   F      G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C
I'm all about you

Outro:

Am     G         F  C
 Long story short, it was a bad time
Am     G      N.C.
 Long story short, I survived
