Taylor Swift – Clean
Key: E Major BPM: ♩ = 104 Time: 4/4
|E     |B     |C#m    |A     |
|E     |B     |C#m    |A     |

|E    |B                   |C#m   |A            |
   The drought was the very worst (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
|E         |B                |C#m           |A             |
   When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

|E       |B                            |C#m   |A            |
   It was months and months of back and forth (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
|E                 |B              |C#m                       |A           |
   You're still all over me, like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore

|B                |A                    |B                      |A            |
 Hung my head as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm

|E        |B      |C#m                       |A                          |
 Rain came pouring down, when I was drowning, that's when I could finally
|E              |B       |C#m                       |A                   |
 breathe, and by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally

|E     |E     |
 clean

|E          |B              |C#m  |A            |
   There was nothing left to do   (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
|E         |B                    |C#m              |A            |
   When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room

|E     |B                    |C#m  |A            |
   So I punched a hole in the roof (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
|E        |B           |C#m          |A           |
   Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

   |B              |A                   |B               |A            |
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud, but no one heard a thing

|E        |B      |C#m                       |A                          |
 Rain came pouring down, when I was drowning, that's when I could finally
|E              |B       |C#m                       |A                   |
 breathe, and by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally

|E     |B                   |C#m   |A                      |
 clean, I think I am finally clean, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
|E        |B                   |C#m   |A               |
 Oh, said, I think I am finally clean, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

|E                |E            |E                               |E                     |
 Ten months sober, I must admit, just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it
|E                |E               |A                      |A                  |
 Ten months older, I won't give in, now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it

|E    |B                   |C#m   |A            |
   The drought was the very worst (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
|E         |B                |C#m           |A             |A   |
   When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

   |E        |B      |C#m                       |A                          |
The rain came pouring down, when I was drowning, that's when I could finally
|E              |B       |C#m                       |A                         |
 breathe, and by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

|E        |B      |C#m                       |A                          |
 Rain came pouring down, when I was drowning, that's when I could finally
|E              |B       |C#m                       |A                   |
 breathe, and by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally

|E    |B        |C#m  |A                   |
 clean,  finally clean,  think I'm finally
|E     |B           |C#m  |A                        |
 clean, oh-oh, oh-oh,        think I'm finally clean
