Taylor Swift – Suburban Legends
Key: C Major BPM: ♩ = 118 Time: 4/4
|C                   |Am                    |F               |F              |
   You had people who called you on unmarked numbers, in my peripheral vision
|C                      |Am                        |F              |F               |
   I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer, all was quickly forgiven
|C               |Am                    |F       |F                         |
   You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious, flush with the currency of
|C                 |Am               |F              |G                  |
 cool, I was always turning out my empty pockets, and when it came to you

|C       |C/E                               |F         |G               |
 I didn't come here to make friends, we were born to be suburban legends
        |C          |C/E              |
When you hold me, it holds me together
       |F                            |G                  |
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

|C                       |Am                  |F                |F                        |
   I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs, would surprise the whole school
|C                |Am                 |F     |F                  |
   When I ended up back at our class reunion, walking in with you
|C                     |Am               |F                |F               |
   You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries, with the pages ripped out
|C                   |Am      |F          |G                      |
   I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium, and I can still see you now

|C       |C/E                               |F         |G               |
 I didn't come here to make friends, we were born to be suburban legends
        |C          |C/E              |
When you hold me, it holds me together
       |F                            |G                  |
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
|C          |C/E                        |F         |G                 |
 I know that you still remember, we were born to be national treasures
        |C           |C/E              |
When you told me we'd get back together
       |F                              |G                  |
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

|C                 |Am                     |
   Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your
|F                    |F                                     |
 block, I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do
|C                     |Am                  |F                       |F                        |
 it, waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door, you don't knock anymore, and my whole life’s
|C                       |Am                     |
 ruined, tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your
|F                    |F                                     |
 block, I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do
|C                     |Am                  |F                       |F   |
 it, waves crash to the shore, I dash to the door, you don't knock anymore

       |C        |C/E    |F   |G            |
And I always knew it,            and my life
|C           |C/E    |F   |G   |
   had been ruined

|C     |
