Nothing New chords by Taylor Swift

Verse 1:
               C
They tell you while you’re young
              Am
Girls, go out and have your fun
               Em
Then they hunt and slay the ones
   F     G
Who actually do it



            C
Criticize the way you fly
                Am
When you’re soaring through the sky
               Em
Shoot you down and then they sigh
        F            G
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”
             F
Lord what will become of me
           G
Once I’ve lost my novelty
Chorus:
F      G      C
 I’ve had too much to drink tonight
   G/B        Am
And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about
    F   G           C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
     G/B   Am       F
It’s like I can feel time moving
            G
How can a person know everything at 18
   C     G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
        F      G
And will you still want me
         C
When I’m nothing new?

Verse 2:
           C
How long will it be cute
            Am
All this crying in my room
                Em
When you can’t blame it on my youth
        F      G
And roll your eyes with affection
              C
And my cheeks are growing tired
Am
From turning red and faking smiles
          Em     F      G
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?
                 F
And someone else lights up the room
         G
People love an ingénue

Chorus:
F      G      C
 I’ve had too much to drink tonight
  G/B       Am
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
    F   G           C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
     G/B   Am        F
It’s like I can feel time moving
            G
How can a person know everything at 18
   C    G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
        F
And will you still want me
G          C
 When I’m nothing new?

Bridge:
F
 I know someday I’m gonna meet her
     G   F
It’s a fever dream
                    G  F
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
                          G     F
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
                      G    C Am Em F
I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep
C Am Em F


Chorus:
F         G         C
 I’ve had (I’ve had) too much to drink tonight
             Am
But I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out
F         G             C
 I wake up (Wake up) in the middle of the night
      Am
And I can feel time moving
F           G
How can a person know everything at 18
   C    G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
        F      G
And will you still want me
      C   G/B Am
Will you still want me
      F
Will you still want me
G
 When I’m nothing new?
