Taylor Swift – tolerate it
Key: F# Minor BPM: ♩ = 75 Time: 4/4
|F#m    |E     |F#m    |E     |

|F#m                          |E                 |
   I sit and watch you reading with your head low
|F#m                             |E                    |
   I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
|F#m                  |E                              |
   I sit and watch you,  I notice everything you do or
|F#m                           |E              |
 don’t do, you’re so much older and wiser and I

|A                                     |D                            |
 I wait by the door like I'm just a kid,  use my best colors for your
|F#m                                |E      |
 portrait, lay the table with the fancy shit
                 |A                                     |D   |
and watch you tolerate it, if its all in my head tell me now
                         |F#m                                  |E              |
tell me I've got it wrong somehow, I know my love should be celebrated, but you

   |F#m                               |E             |
tolerate it, I greet you with a battle hero’s welcome
|F#m                        |E              |
   I take your indiscretions all in good fun
|F#m               |E                                     |
   I sit and listen   I polish plates until they gleam and
|F#m                          |E              |
 glisten, you’re so much older and wiser and I

|A                                     |D                            |
 I wait by the door like I'm just a kid,  use my best colors for your
|F#m                                |E      |
 portrait, lay the table with the fancy shit
                 |A                                     |D   |
and watch you tolerate it, if its all in my head tell me now
                         |F#m                                  |E              |
tell me I've got it wrong somehow, I know my love should be celebrated, but you

   |F#m                                               |D                                       |
tolerate it, while you were out building other worlds, where was I? Wheres that man who’d throw
       |F#m                                            |E                       |
over my barbed wire? I made you my temple, my mural, my sky, now I'm begging for
                |F#m                                        |D                              |
footnotes in the story of your life, drawing hearts in the byline, always taking up too much
        |F#m                                          |E      |
space or time, you assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I

|A                             |D   |
   Break free and leave us in ruins
                                  |F#m                            |E      |
Took this dagger in me and removed it, gain the weight of you then lose it
                   |A                                   |D   |
Believe me, I could do it, if its all in my head tell me now
                         |F#m                                  |E              |
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow, I know my love should be celebrated, but you

   |F#m    |D     |F#m    |E                    |
tolerate it,                 I sit and watch you

|E     |
