Taylor Swift – willow
Key: E Minor BPM: ♩ = 84 Time: 4/4
|Em    D    |Em    D    |Em    D    |C     |

|Em                           D                  |Em   D   |
 I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
|Em                           D                 |C    |
 Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
|Em                 D             |Em                 D                           |
   And if it was an open-shut case,  I never would've known from that look on your
|Em                 D                  |C        |
 face, lost in your current like a priceless wine

|G                   D              |Am                 Em      |
   The more that you say, the less I know, wherever you stray, I
  |G                    D             |24Am            |44Em                  |
follow, I’m begging for you to take my  hand, wreck my  plans, that's my man

|Em                       D                 |Em   D   |
 Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
|Em                          D            |C     |
 Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in
|Em                 D              |Em              D                   |
   As if you were a mythical thing, like you were a trophy or a champion
|Em                      D        |C           |
 ring, and there was one prize I'd cheat to win

|G                   D              |Am                 Em      |
   The more that you say, the less I know, wherever you stray, I
  |G                    D             |Am            |Em              |
follow, I’m begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my
|G                     D                   |Am             Em     |
 man, you know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is
  |G                    D             |24Am            |44Em                  |
hollow, I’m begging for you to take my  hand, wreck my  plans, that's my man

|Bm    Em    |

|Am                       G                 |Bm   Em   |
 Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
|Am                  G             |Bm   Em   |
   They count me out time and time again
|Am                       G                 |Bm   Em   |
 Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
|24Am               |44G                         |
    But I come back  stronger than a 90s’ trend

|Em                           D             |Em   D   |
 Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark
|Em                           D          |C        |
 Show me the places where the others gave you scars
|Em               D             |Em                    D                          |
   Now this is an open-shut case,  I guess I should've known from the look on your
|Em                   D                |C     |
 face, every bait and switch was a work of art

|G                   D              |Am                 Em      |
   The more that you say, the less I know, wherever you stray, I
  |G                    D             |Am            |Em              |
follow, I’m begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my
|G                     D                   |Am             Em     |
 man, you know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is
  |G                    D             |Am            |Em              |
hollow, I’m begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my

|G                      D              |Am                 Em      |
 man, the more that you say, the less I know, wherever you stray, I
  |G                    D             |Am            |Em              |
follow, I’m begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my
|G                     D                   |Am             Em     |
 man, you know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is
  |G                    D             |Am            |Em              |
hollow, I’m begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my

|G   D               |Am   Em   |
 man,  hey, that's my man
         |G   D                |Am                 Em               |
That’s my man,  yeah, that's my man, very bait and switch was a work
|G              D     |Am               Em   |
 of art, that’s my man,  hey, that's my man
|G                 D             |Am            |Em                  |
   I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man
