Taylor Swift – Cruel Summer
Key: A Major BPM: ♩ = 85 Time: 4/4
|A     |A     |

|D               2nE                             |C#m               2nF#m  |
 Fever dream high in the quiet of the night, you know that I caught it
|D           2nE                           |C#m               2nF#m  |
 bad bad boy, shiny toy, with a price, you know that I bought it
          |D            2nE                         |C#m                    2nF#m  |
killing me slow, out the window, I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below
               |D                                         |E                              |
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes, what doesn’t kill me, makes me want you more

        |A                                |C#m                             |
And it’s new, the shape of your body, it’s blue, the feeling I got and it’s
|F#m        |D           |
 Ooh, it’s a cruel summer 
    |A                               |C#m                           |F#m        |D           |
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ‘em, no rules in breakable heaven but, ooh, it’s a cruel summer

    |A     |
With you

|D                  2nE                            |C#m            2nF#m  |
 Hang your head low, in the glow of the vending machine, I’m not dying
  |D                  2nE                           |C#m                2nF#m  |
We say that we’ll just screw, it up in these trying times, we’re not trying
              |D               2nE                          |C#m                       2nF#m  |
So cut the headlights, summer’s a knife, I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
               |D                                     |E                               |
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes, and if I bleed you’ll be the last to know

        |A                                |C#m                             |
And it’s new, the shape of your body, it’s blue, the feeling I got and it’s
|F#m        |D           |
 Ooh, it’s a cruel summer 
    |A                               |C#m                           |F#m        |D           |
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ‘em, no rules in breakable heaven but, ooh, it’s a cruel summer

|A                                        |C#m                                       |
   I’m drunk in the back of the car, and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar
|F#m                                          |D                                     |
   Said ‘I’m fine’ but it wasn’t true, I don’t want to keep secrets, just to keep you
   |A                                       |C#m                                    |
And I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer, just to seal my fate
|F#m                                       |D                                            |
   And I scream ‘For whatever it’s worth, I love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever 
|D                                        |
 heard?’ He looks up grinning like a devil

        |A                                |C#m                             |
And it’s new, the shape of your body, it’s blue, the feeling I got and it’s
|F#m        |D           |
 Ooh, it’s a cruel summer 
    |A                               |C#m                           |F#m        |D           |
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ‘em, no rules in breakable heaven but, ooh, it’s a cruel summer

|A                                        |C#m                                       |
   I’m drunk in the back of the car, and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar
|F#m                                          |D                                     |
   Said ‘I’m fine’ but it wasn’t true, I don’t want to keep secrets, just to keep you
   |A                                       |C#m                                    |
And I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer, just to seal my fate
|F#m                                       |D                                            |
   And I scream ‘For whatever it’s worth, I love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever
