Taylor Swift – Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version)
Key: B Minor BPM: ♩ = 146 Time: 4/4
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did

|Bm     |G      |D           |A             |
                   Ha
|Bm     |G      |D           |A             |
           Ha-ha,  time for a little revenge

|Bm                            |G                         |
   The story starts when it was hot and it was summer, and
|D                        |A                             |
   I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
|Bm                        |G                                |
   She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
|A                         |A                       |
   She took him faster than you could say “sabotage"

|Bm                          |G                        |
   I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it
|D                 |A                          |
   I underestimated just who I was dealing with
|Bm                            |G                        |
   She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
|A                   |A                             |A   |
   She underestimated just who she was stealing from

|Bm                          |G                           |D         |A   |
 She's not a saint, and she's not what you think, she’s an actress, whoa
|Bm                  |G                         |D         |A   |
 He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches, whoa
|Bm                            |G                         |
 Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the
|A                              |G      |
 playground, won’t make you many friends
|Bm                                 |G           |
 She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
                |A                 |A                  |
There is nothing I do better than revenge (revenge), ha

|Bm     |G     |D     |A     |

|Bm                             |G                           |
   She looks at life like it's a party, and she's on the list
|D                           |A                          |
   She looks at me like I'm a trend, and she's so over it
|Bm                        |G                               |
   I think her ever present frown is a little troubling, and
|A                                |A                                 |
   She thinks I'm psycho, 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things

|Bm                      |G                             |
 But sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
|D                          |A                         |
   Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
|Bm                             |G                            |
   They didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me
|A                         |A                         |A                        |
   But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity (Think about what you did)

|Bm                          |G                           |D         |A   |
 She's not a saint, and she's not what you think, she’s an actress, whoa
|Bm                  |G                         |D         |A   |
 He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches, whoa
|Bm                            |G                         |
 Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the
|A                              |G      |
 playground, won’t make you many friends
|Bm                                 |G           |
 She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
                |A                 |A             |
There is nothing I do better than revenge (ha, ha)

|G     |G     |

   |A                            |Bm                      |
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
   |G                  |D           A/C#   |
You might have him, but haven't you heard?
   |Bm                           |G                       |
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
   |D                       |A/C#          |
You might have him, but I'll always get the

|Bm       |G                     |D         |A     |
 last word,                     whoa
|Bm       |G                     |D         |A     |
  (Come on,  can you take it back?) (Come on)

|Bm                          |G                                |D         |A                   |
 She's not a saint, and she's not what you think (no), she’s an actress, whoa (she deserves it)
|Bm                  |G                         |D         |A   |
 He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches, whoa
|Bm                            |G                         |
 Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the
|A                              |G      |
 playground, won’t make you many friends
|Bm                                 |G           |
 She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
                |A                 |A              |
There is nothing I do better than revenge (come on)

          |Bm             |G                          |
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
      |D                |A                      |
'Cause I don't think you do, oh (no, no, no, no)
      |Bm             |G                               |
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing? (No)
 |D                    |A                                           |
I don't think you do, I don't think you do (come on), let’s hear the
 |Bm                   |G                  |D                        |A                      |
applause, c’mon show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah?), see you deserve some
 |Bm                   |G             |D                         |A                       |
applause, ’cause you're so much better,  she took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
