Taylor Swift – Nothing New
Key: C Major BPM: ♩ = 102 Time: 4/4
                           |C    |C                            |Am   |Am   |
They tell you while you’re young,  girls, go out and have your fun
                           |Em       |F          |Gsus4   |G   |
Then they hunt and slay the ones, who actually do it 
                     |C   |C                                |Am   |Am   |
Criticize the way you fly,   when you’re soaring through the sky
                            |Em                 |F                    |Gsus4     |G   |
Shoot you down and then they sigh, and say, “She looks like she’s been through it”

                        |F   |F                  |G      |G   |
Lord what will become of me,    once I’ve lost my novelty

|F         |G            |C                    G/B              |Am                        |
   I’ve had   too much to drink tonight, and I know it’s sad but this is what I think about
   |F        |G                     |C                G/B    |Am              |
And I wake up   in the middle of the night, it’s like I can   feel time moving
|F                      |G                    |C          G/B    |Am   |
   How can a person know everything at 18, but nothing at 22?
            |F            |G                      |
And will you still want me,  when I’m nothing new?

|C     |C     |

                   |C   |C                      |Am   |Am   |
How long will it be cute,  all this crying in my room
                             |Em                  |F          |Gsus4   |G   |
When you can’t blame it on my youth, and roll your eyes with affection
                         |C    |C                            |Am    |Am   |
And my cheeks are growing tired,  from turning red and faking smiles
                  |Em         |F          |Gsus4   |G   |
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?

                              |F   |F               |G      |G   |
And someone else lights up the room,  people love an ingénue

|F         |G            |C                  G/B          |Am                          |
   I’ve had   too much to drink tonight, how did I go from growing up to breaking down?
   |F        |G                     |C               G/B    |Am              |
And I wake up   in the middle of the night, it’s like I can  feel time moving
|F                      |G                    |C          G/B    |Am   |
   How can a person know everything at 18, but nothing at 22?
            |F            |G                      |
And will you still want me,  when I’m nothing new?

|C     |C     |

|F                         |F                G    4nF    |
   I know someday I’m gonna meet her, it’s a fever dream
|F                         |F            G   4nF   |
   The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
|F                                    |F               G       4nF   |
   She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
|F                       |F                   G      |
   I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to

|C     |Am     |Em     |F     |
 sleep
|C     |Am     |Em     |F     |
 
|F         |G            |C                                     |Am                            |
   I’ve had   too much to drink tonight, but I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out
|F          |G                     |C               |Am              |
   I wake up   in the middle of the night, and I can feel time moving
|F                      |G                    |C          G/B    |Am   |
   How can a person know everything at 18, but nothing at 22?
            |F            |G         |C     G/B    |Am   |
And will you still want me,  will you still want    me
        |F            |G                      |
Will you still want me,  when I’m nothing new?
