The Bolter chords by Taylor Swift

• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Verse 1:
C              G
By all accounts, she almost drowned
              F
When she was six in frigid water
           C
And I can confirm she made
             G
A curious child, ever reviled
              F
By everyone except her own father
            C
With a quite bewitching face
                G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
               F
Excellent fun till you get to know her
             C
Then she runs like it's a race
                G
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
              F
And they nicknamed her The Bolter

🎸 Chorus:
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 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
F
Then came out alive


🎸 Verse 2:
C            G
He was a cad, wanted her bad
             F
Just like any good trophy hunter
             C
And she liked the way it 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
G
Down in the floorboards
     F
And she just knows
F
She must bolt


🎸 Chorus:
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 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
F
Then came out alive


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


🎸 Chorus:
C
Started with a kiss
                G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                  F
But it always ends with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive 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
F
And she realized
G         Am
It feels like the time
           F
She fell through the ice
F
Then came out alive
