Taylor Swift – Innocent (Taylor’s Version)
Key: C# Minor BPM: ♩ = 67 Time: 4/4
|C#m  -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9     |C#m  -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9     |

|C#m  -             B/D#          E   |Aadd9   |C#m  -          B/D#         E   |Aadd9   |
        I guess you really did it this time,           left yourself in your war- path
|C#m  -           B/D#         E   |Aadd9   |C#m  -           B/D#           E     |Aadd9   |
        Lost your balance on a tightrope,           lost your mind trying to get it back

|B           C#m   |Aadd9                 |B          C#m   |Aadd9            |
   Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?   Always a bigger bed to crawl into
|B           C#m  |Aadd9                              |B                 C#m      |Aadd9   |
   Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything,  and everybody believed in you?

|E                                 |B                                          |
   It's alright, just wait and see, your string of lights is still bright to me
|C#m                                     |A                |
 Oh, who you are is not where you've been,  you’re still an

   |C#m  -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9                |C#m  -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9     |
innocent,                 you’re still an innocent

|C#m  -          B/D#             E    |Aadd9   |C#m  -        B/D#              E   |Aadd9   |
        Did some things you can't speak of,             but at night you live it all again
|C#m  -                 B/D#             E    |Aadd9   |
        You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
|C#m  -                 B/D#          E   |Aadd9    |
        If only you had seen what you know now, then

|B             C#m   |Aadd9                         |
     Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catching days?
|B                 C#m   |Aadd9                                    |
   When everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
|B           C#m  |Aadd9                                |
   Wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep
|B                            C#m   |Aadd9   |
   Before the monsters caught up to    you?

|E                                 |B                                          |
   It's alright, just wait and see, your string of lights is still bright to me
|C#m                                     |A                         |
 Oh, who you are is not where you've been,  you’re still an innocent
|E                           |B                             |
   It's okay, life is a tough crowd, 32 and still growing up
|C#m                                 |A                |
 now, who you are is not what you did,  you’re still an

   |C#m  -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9     |
innocent

|C#m                         |B                         |
 Time turns flames to embers, you’ll have new Septembers
|Amaj7                        |Amaj7        |
 Every one of us has messed up too, ooh, ooh
|C#m                           |B                  |
 Minds change like the weather, I hope you remember
|Amaj7                    |Amaj7   |
   Today is never too late   to

  |C#m   -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9     |C#m  -  B/D#   E    |Aadd9     |
be brand new,               oh, oh-oh,  oh,       oh-oh-oh, oh

|E                                 |B                                          |
   It's alright, just wait and see, your string of lights is still bright to me
|C#m                                     |A                         |
 Oh, who you are is not where you've been,  you’re still an innocent
|E                           |B                             |
   It's okay, life is a tough crowd, 32 and still growing up
|C#m                                 |A                |
 now, who you are is not what you did,  you’re still an

   |C#m  -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9                |C#m  -  B/D#   E   |Aadd9     |
innocent,                 you’re still an innocent

|C#m  -           B/D#         E   |Aadd9   |C#m  -            B/D#        E     |Aadd9   |
        Lost your balance on a tightrope, oh,       it's never too late to get it back
