Taylor Swift – All Too Well (10 Minute Version)
Key: C Major BPM: ♩ = 93 Time: 4/4
|C     |G     |Am     |F     |
|C     |G     |Am     |F     |

 |C                               |G                 |
I walked through the door with you,  the air was cold 
   |Am                        |F           |
But somethin bout it felt like home somehow
     |C                            |G             |
And I   left my scarf there at your sister’s house
   |Am                         |F              |
And you’ve still got it in your drawer even now

|C     |G     |Am     |F     |

       |C                        |G             |
Oh your sweet disposition, and my wide eyed gaze
     |Am                        |F           |
We’re singing in the car getting lost upstate
|C                              |G                     |Am                    |F             |
 Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place, and I can picture it after all these days
     |C                           |G                       |
And I know it’s long gone and that magic’s not here no more
     |Am                     |G        |F   |F   G   |
And I might be ok but I’m not   fine at all

     |C                          |G                 |
Cause there we are again on that, little town street
   |Am                                |F                 |
You almost ran the red, cause you were looking over at me
          |C                        |G             |Am   |F   |
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well

     |C                         |G                      |
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
                |Am                          |F             |
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
        |C                                       |G            |
And your mother’s telling stories bout you on the tee ball team
   |Am                                    |F            |
You taught me bout your past, thinkin your future was me
            |C                                 |G                          |
And you were tossing me the car keys, ’Fuck the patriarchy’ keychain on the
|Am                             |F   |
 ground, we were always skipping town
         |C                              |G                            |
And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now, he’s gonna say it’s
|Am                               |F   |
 love, you never called it what it was

           |C                                  |G                  |
til we were dead and gone and buried, check the pulse and come back 
                 |Am                         |F    |
Swearing it’s the same, after 3 months in the grave
            |C                              |G                  |
And then you wondered where it went to, as I reached for you but
              |Am                        |F         |
All I felt was shame, and you held my lifeless frame
     |C                                 |G                      |
And I know it’s long gone and, there was nothing else I could do
        |Am                              |G               |F   |F   G   |
And I forget about you long enough, to forget why I needed to

     |C                        |G                  |
Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
     |Am                               |F               |
We’re dancin round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
        |C                          |G             |Am   |F   |
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well
   |C                         |G               |
And there we are again, when nobody had to know
   |Am                          |F                    |
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
      |C                             |G             |Am   |F   |
Sacred prayer and we’d swear, to remember it all too well

|C     |G     |Am     |F     |
|G     |G     |

                 |C                           |G                 |
Well maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
              |Am                               |F             |
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece, ’til you tore it all up
       |C                          |G             |Am   |F   |
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well
       |C                        |G                      |
And you call me up again, just to break me like a promise
  |Am                   |F                   |
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
     |C                           |G                            |Am       |F   |
I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here, cause I remember it all, all, all
        |C                             |G                      |Am              |F            |
They say all’s well that ends well, but I’m in a new hell every time, you double-cross my mind
           |C                    |G   |
You said if we had been closer in age
                        |Am                    |F          |
Maybe it would have been fine, and that made me want to die

    |C                                |G          |
The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy
           |Am                            |F   |
Ever lovely jewel, whose shine reflects on you
   |C                                |G                              |
Not weeping in a party bathroom, some actress asking me what happened
|Am                        |F   |
 You, that’s what happened: You
        |C                         |G           |
You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
|Am                               |F              |
 Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show
           |C                                         |G                  |
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come
             |Am                      |F         |F   |
And he said, “it’s supposed to be fun, turning 21”

|C     |G     |Am     |F     |

|C                            |G                |
 Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m   paralyzed by it
           |Am                           |F                      |
I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it
     |C                                    |G               |
After plaid shirt days, and nights when you made me your own
       |Am                        |F              |
Now you mail back my things, and I walk home alone
       |C                           |G              |
But you keep my old scarf, from that very first week
          |Am                            |F             |
Cause it reminds you of innocence, and it smells like me
             |C                     |G            |Am   |F   |
You can’t get rid of it, cause you remember it all too   well

     |C                         |G           |
Cause there we are again when, I loved you so
|Am                               |F                       |
 Back before you lost the one real thing, you’ve ever known
      |C                     |G            |Am   |F   |
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too   well
          |C                             |G         |
Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all
        |Am                           |F            |
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
      |C                        |G         |Am   |F   |
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too   well

                       |C                     |Am             |
And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punchline goes:
         |F                     |G           |
“I’ll get older, but your lovers stay my age”
              |C                |Am                   |F                      |G              |
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones, I’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight
           |C                      |Am       |
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
      |F                            |G            |
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
             |F            |F                         |G            |G   |
Cause in this city’s barren cold, I still remember the first fall of snow
                          |F        |F        |
And how it glistened as it fell, I remember it

   |C       |Am      |F                           |G       |
all too well,  just between us did the love affair maim you
   |C       |Am      |F                    |G     |
All too well,  just between us, do you remember it
   |C       |Am      |F               |G                  |
All too well,  just between us, I remember it all too well

|C                     |Am                |F                       |G                 |
 Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there,  down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|C                     |Am                |F                      |G                   |
   Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there,  it was rare, you remember it, all too well
|C                     |Am                |F                       |G                 |
 Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there,  down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|C                     |Am                |F                      |G                   |
   Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there,  it was rare, you remember it, all too well

|C                     |Am                |F                       |G                 |
 Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there,  down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|C                     |Am                |F                      |G                   |
   Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there,  it was rare, you remember it, all too well
|C                     |Am                |F                       |G                 |
 Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there,  down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|C                     |Am                |F                      |G                   |
   Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there,  it was rare, you remember it, all too well
