Taylor Swift – my tears ricochet
Key: C Major BPM: ♩ = 65 Time: 4/4
|Am    G    |Em    F    |

|Am    G    |Em    F    |Am    G    |Em    F    |

|Am          G               |Em                  F   |
   We gather here, we line up weeping in a sunlit room
|Am            G    |Em                       F   |
 And if I'm on fire, you’ll be made of ashes, too

|Am                  G                    |Em                 F       |
 Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe,  all the hell you gave me?
|Am                 G                    |Em             F   |
   Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you,  til my dying day

|C   Dm        |Am           F              |
       I didn't have it in myself to go with
|C    Dm              |Am          F     |
 grace, and you're the hero flying around
  |C       Dm          |Am              F             |
saving face, and if I'm dead to you why are you at the
|C                Dm             |Am                  F                |
 wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed, look at how my tears ricochet

|C    Dm    |Am    F    |

|Am          G      |Em                         F   |
   We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
|Am        G     |Em                     F   |
   Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
   |Am                   G                  |Em                   F    |
You know I didn't want to, have to haunt you,  but what a ghostly scene
|Am                        G                |Em            F   |
   You wear the same jewels, that I gave you,  as you bury me

|C   Dm        |Am           F              |
       I didn't have it in myself to go with
|C    Dm              |Am                 F        |
 grace, cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I
|C        Dm          |Am              F             |
 was brave, and if I'm dead to you why are you at the
|C                Dm             |Am                  F                |
 wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed, look at how my tears ricochet

|C              Dm             |Am         F               |
   And I can go anywhere I want,  anywhere I want, just not
|C                     Dm                        |Am                    F              |
 home, and you can aim for my heart, go for blood,  but you would still miss me in your
|C                  Dm         |Am         F               |
 bones, and I still talk to you,  when I'm screaming at the
|C                       Dm            |Am            F     |
 sky, and when you can't sleep at night,  you hear my stolen 
    |F   |24F   |
lullabies

|44C   Dm        |Am           F              |
        I didn't have it in myself to go with
|C    Dm          |Am               F   |
 grace, and so the battleships will sink
 |C              Dm          |Am              F                  |
beneath the waves, you had to kill me, but it killed you just the
|C                Dm             |Am                           F          |
 same, cursing my name, wishing I stayed, you turned into your worst fears

|C                        Dm                  |Am                     F         |
   And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, crossing out the good years
          |C            Dm             |Am                  F                |
And you're   cursing my name, wishing I stayed, look at how my tears ricochet

|C    Dm    |Am    F    |C    Dm    |Am    F    |
|C    Dm    |Am    F    |
