But what about your quiet treason?

Your wife waters flowers

I want to kill her

All my mornings are Monday stuck in an endless February

[C] [D] [G] [Em]

I took the miracle move on drug, the effects were temporary

My husband is cheating, I want to kill him

Verse 1

[C]

You left your typewriter at my apartment

[F]

Straight from the tortured poets department

[C] [F]

I think some things I never say

"Like who uses typewriters anyway?"

[Am] [G]

But you're in self-sabotage mode

[C]

Throwing spikes down on the road

[F]

But I've seen this episode and still love the show

[Am] [G]

Who else decodes you?

Chorus

[C]

And who's gonna hold you?

[F]

Like me

[C]

And who's gonna know you?

[F]

If not me

[Am] [G]

I laughed in your face and said, "You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith

[C] [F]

This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we'rе modern idiots"

[Am] [G]

And who's gonna hold you?

[C]

Like me

[F]

No, nobody

[C]

No-fucking-body

[F]

Nobody

Verse 2

[C]

You smokеd then ate seven bars of chocolate

[F]

We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist

[C] [F]

I scratch your head, you fall asleep

Like a tattooed golden retriever

[Am] [G]

But you awaken with dread

Pounding nails in your head

[C] [F]

But I've read this one where you come undone

[Am] [G]

I chose this cyclone with you

[C]

Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me

[F]

But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave

[C]

And I had said that to Jack about you so I felt seen

[F]

Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be

[C] [F]

Because we're crazy

[C] [F]

So tell me who else is gonna know me?

[Am] [G] [C] [F]

At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on

[Am] [G]

And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding

Chorus

[C] [F]

Who's gonna hold you? Me

[C] [F]

Who's gonna know you? Me

[Am] [G]

And you're not Dylan Thomas, I'm not Patti Smith

[C] [F]

This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, we're two idiots

[Am] [G]

Who's gonna hold you?

[C]

Who's gonna hold you?

Who's gonna hold you?

Who's gonna hold you?

[F]

Who's gonna hold you?

Verse 1

[C]

I saw in my mind ferry lights through the mist

[Am]

I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift

[D] [G]

Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away

[C]

My spine split from carrying us up the hill

[Am]

Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill

[D] [G]

I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe

Chorus

[C] [Am] [D] [G]

Thinking how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?

Oh the tragedy

[C]

I didn't opt in to be your odd man out

[Am]

I founded the club she's heard great things about

[D] [G]

I left all I knew you left me at the house by the Hеath

I stopped CPR, after all it's no use

Thе spirit was gone, we would never come to

And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free

And you say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it

[D] [Am]

My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment

And my friends said it isn't right to be scared

[G] [D]

Every day old love affair, every breath feels like rarest air

[Am] [Em]

When you're not sure if he wants to be there

Bridge

[G] [D] [Am]

So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me?

[Em]

How much tragedy?

[G] [D]

Just how low did you think I'd go 'fore I'd self implode?

[Am]

'Fore I'd have to go be free?

[C]

You swore that you loved, me but where were the clues?

[Am]

I died on the altar waiting for the proof

[D] [G]

You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days

And I'm just getting color back into my face

[D] [G]

I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place for

CAPO: 2

Intro

[D]

Verse 1

[A]

I forget how the west was won

[G]

I forget if this was ever fun

[D] [A]

I just learned these people only raise you

To cage you

[Bm]

Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best

[G]

Clutchin' their pearls sighing, "What a mess"

[D] [A]

I just learned these people try and save you

'Cause they hate you

Pre-Chorus

[Bm] [G] [D]

Too high a horse for a simple girl

[A]

To rise above it

[Bm] [G] [D]

They slammed the door on my whole world

[A]

The one thing I wanted

Chorus

[D]

Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned

[G]

Scrеamin', "But, daddy, I love him"

[A]

I'm having his baby, no, I'm not

[G]

But you should see your faces

[D]

I'm telling him to floor it through thе fences

[G]

No, I'm not coming to my senses

[A]

I know it's crazy

[G]

But he's the one I want

Verse 2

[Bm]

Dutiful daughter all my plans were laid

[G]

Tendrils tucked into a woven braid

[D] [A]

Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all

[Bm]

He was chaos he was revelry

[G]

Bedroom eyes like a remedy

[D] [A]

Soon enough the elders had convened down at the city hall

Pre-Chorus

[Bm] [G] [D]

"Stay away from her," the saboteurs

[A]

Protested too much

[Bm] [G] [D]

Lord knows the words we never heard

[A]

Just screeching tires of true love

Chorus

[D]

And I'm running with my dress unbuttoned

[G]

Scrеamin', "But, daddy, I love him"

[A]

I'm having his baby, no, I'm not

[G]

But you should see your faces

[D]

I'm telling him to floor it through thе fences

[G]

No, I'm not coming to my senses

[A]

I know it's crazy

[G]

But he's the one I want

[D] [G]

I'll tell you something right now

[A]

I'd rather burn my whole life down

[G]

Than listen to one more second of all this bitchin' and moanin'

[D] [G]

I'll tell you something 'bout my good name

[A]

It's mine alone to disgrace

[G]

I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empire's clothing

Bridge

[Bm] [G]

God save the most judgmental creeps

[A]

Who say they want what's best for me

[Bm]

Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see

[G] [A]

Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me

And counteract the chemistry

[D] [A]

And undo the destiny

[G]

You ain't gotta pray for me

[Bm]

Me and my wild boy

[A] [D] [A]

And all of this wild joy

[G]

If all you want is gray for me

[Bm]

Then It's just white noise

[A]

It's just my choice

Verse 3

[D] [G]

There's a lot of people in town that I bestow upon my fakest smiles

[D] [A]

Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer

[Bm]

We came back when the heat died down

[G]

Went to my parents and they came around

[D]

All the wine moms are still holding out

[A]

But fuck 'em, it's over

Chorus

[D]

Now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun and

[G]

Even my daddy just loves him

[A]

I'm his lady

[G]

And oh my God you should see your faces

[D]

Time, doesn't it give some perspective

[G]

No, you can't come to the wedding

[A] [G]

I know it's crazy but he's the one I love

[D] [G]

I'll tell you something right now

[A]

You ain't gotta pray for me

[G]

Me and my wild boy, and all of this wild joy

[D] [G]

He was chaos he was revelry

[A]

It's all you want, it's gray for me

[G] [D]

It's just white noise, it's my choice

Outro

[G] [A]

Screaming, "But, daddy, I love him"

[G]

I'm having his baby

[D]

No, I'm not

[G] [A]

But you should see your faces

[G] [D]

And oh my God you should see your faces

[G] [A] [G]

He was chaos he was revelry

Intro

[G] [Em] [C]

Chorus

[G]

Now pretty baby

[Em] [C]

I'm running back home to you

[G] [Em] [C]

Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

(Fresh out the slammer, oh)

Verse 1

[G] [Em]

Another summer, taking cover, rolling thunder

[C]

He don't understand me

[G] [Em]

Splintered back in winter, silent dinners, bitter

[C]

He was with her in dreams

[G]

Gray and blue and fights and tunnels

[Em] [C]

Handcuffed to the spell I was under

For just one hour of sunshine

[G]

Years of labor, locks and ceilings

[Em]

In the shade of how he was feeling

[C]

But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

Chorus

[G]

Now pretty baby

[Em] [C]

I'm running back home to you

[G] [Em] [C]

Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to

(Fresh out the slammer, oh)

Verse 2

[G]

Camera flashes, welcome bashes

[Em] [C]

Get the matches, toss the ashes off the ledge

[G] [Em]

As I said in my letters, now that I know better

[C]

I will never lose my baby again

[G]

My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it

[Em] [C]

Watched me daily disappearing

For just one glimpse of his smile

[G]

All those nights you kept me goin'

[Em] [C]

Swirled you into all of my poems

Now we're at the starting line, I did my time

Chorus

[G]

Now pretty baby

[Em]

I'm runnin'

Outro

[C] [G]

To the house where you still wait up and that porch light gleams (Gleams)

[Em] [C]

To the one who says I'm the girl of his American dreams

[C]

And no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway

[C] [G]

Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up, now that I know what's at stake here

[Em] [C]

At the park where we used to sit on children's swings

[G] [C]

Wearing imaginary rings

[G] [Em] [C]

But it's gonna be alright, I did my time

[G] [C]

[G] [Em] [C]

Verse 1

[F] [Am] [G]

You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too

[F] [Am] [G]

They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true

[F] [Am] [G]

And my friends, all smell like weed or little babies

[F] [Am] [G]

And the city reeks of driving myself crazy

Pre-Chorus

[F] [Am]

Little did you know your home's really only

[G]

A town you're just a guest in

[F] [Am]

So you work your life away just to pay

For a time-share down in Destin

Chorus

[F] [Am]

The hurricane with my name when it came

I got drunk and I dared it to wash me away

[F] [Am]

Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine

[G]

Well, mе and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time

[F] [Am]

Well, no one asks any questions here

Verse 3

[Dm] [C]

So I did my best to lay to rest

All of the bodies that have ever been on my body

Is that a bad thing to say in a song?

Pre-Chorus

A town you're just a guest in (Florida)

Verse 1

[Bm]

Drownin' in the Blue Nile

[G]

He sent me "Downtown Lights"

[Bm]

I hadn't heard it in a while

My boredom's bone-deep

[G]

This cage was once just fine

Am I allowed to cry?

[Bm]

I dream of crackin' locks

[G]

Throwin' my life to the wolves or the ocean rocks

[Bm]

Crashin' into him tonight, he's a paradox

I'm seeing visions

[G] [F#m] [A]

Am I bad or mad or wise?

Chorus

[D] [A] [G]

What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?

[D]

One slip and fallin' back into the hedge maze

[A] [G]

Oh, what a way to die

[G] [A]

I keep recalling things we never did

[D] [F#m]

Messy top-lip kiss, how I long for our trysts

[G]

Without ever touchin' his skin

[A] [Bm]

How can I be guilty as sin?

Verse 2

[G]

I keep these longings lockеd

[Bm]

In lowercase, inside a vault

[G]

Somеone told me, "There's no such thing as bad thoughts

Only your actions talk

[Bm]

These fatal fantasies

[G]

Giving way to labored breath, takin' all of me

[Bm]

We've already done it in my head

If it's make-believe

[G] [F#m] [A]

Why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?

Chorus

[D] [A] [G]

What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?

[D]

One slip and fallin' back into the hedge maze

[A] [G]

Oh, what a way to die

[G] [A]

My bedsheets are ablaze, I've screamed his name

[D] [F#m]

Building up like waves, crashin' over my grave

[G]

Without ever touching his skin

[A] [D]

How can I be guilty as sin?

Bridge

[A] [G]

What if I roll the stone away?

[D]

They're gonna crucify me anyway

[A] [G]

What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?

[G] [A]

If long suffering propriety is what they want from me

[D] [F#m]

They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly

[G] [A]

I choose you and me, religiously

Chorus

N.C. [G]

What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?

[D]

One slip and fallin' back into the hedge maze

[A] [G]

Oh, what a way to die

[G] [A]

I keep recalling things we never did

[D] [F#m]

Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trysts

[G]

Without ever touchin' his skin

[A] [Bm]

Outro

[A] [G]

He sent me “Downtown Lights”

Nothing makes me feel more alive

[Dm] [F]

I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me

[Am] [G]

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

[Dm] [F]

So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs

[Am] [G]

I’m always drunk on my own tears, isn’t that what they all said?

[C] [G] [Dm]

That I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn

[C] [G] [Dm]

That I’m fearsome, and I’m wretched and I’m wrong

Put narcotics into all of my songs

And that’s why you’re still singing along

You should be, you should be

Outro

[C] [G] [Dm] [F]

Cause you lured me and you hurt me and you taught me

[C] [G] [Dm] [F]

You caged me and then you called me crazy

I am what I am 'cause you trained me

[C] [G] [Dm] [F]

Verse 2

[C] [D] [A] [C] [D] [A]

The dopamine races through his brain on a six-lane Texas highway

His hands so calloused from his pistol softly traces hearts on my face

[C] [D] [A]

And I could see it from a mile away

Verse 1

[C] [Am] [G]

Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames

If we know the steps anyway

[C] [Am] [G]

We embroidered the memories of the time I was away

Stitching, "We were just kids, babe"

[F] [Am]

I said, "I don't mind, it takes time"

[G]

I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed

[F] [Am] [G]

I felt a glow like this, never before and never since

Chorus

[C] [Am]

If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary

[G]

You and I go from one kiss to getting married

[C] [Am]

Still alivе, killing time at the cemеtery

[G]

Never quite buried

[Post-Chorus]

[F] [Am]

And your suit and tie, in the nick of time

[G]

You low-down boy, you stand-up guy

[F] [Am] [G]

Holy ghost, you told me I'm the love of your life

[C] [Am] [G]

You said I'm the love of your life

About a million times

Verse 2

[C] [Am] [G]

Who's gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate

And told me I reformed you

[C] [Am] [G]

When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes

Well, you took me to hell too

[F] [Am]

And all at once, the ink bleeds

[G]

A con man sells a fool a "get love quick" scheme

[F] [Am] [G]

I felt a hole like this, never before and ever since

Chorus

[C] [Am]

If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary

[G]

What we thought was for all time was momentary

[C] [Am]

Still alive, killing time at the cemetery

[G]

Never quite buried

[Post-Chorus]

[F] [Am]

You cinephile in black and white

[G]

All those plot twists and dynamite

[F] [Am]

Mr. Steal-Your-Girl, then make her cry

[G]

Said I'm the love of your life

Bridge

[Dm] [Em]

You shit-talked me under the table

[F]

Talking rings and talking cradles

I wish I could unrecall

[Dm]

How we almost had it all

[Em]

Dancing phantoms on the terrace

[F]

Are they second-hand embarrassed

[G]

That I can't get out of bed

[C] [Am]

'Cause something counterfeit's dead

[G]

It was legendary

[C] [Am]

It was momentary

It was unnecessary

[G]

Should've let it stay buried

Chorus

[F]

Oh, what a valiant roar

[Am]

What a bland goodbye

[G]

The coward claimed he was a lion

[F] [Am]

I'm combing through the braids of lies

[G]

I'll never leave, never mind

[F] [Am]

Our field of dreams engulfed in fire

[G]

Your arson's match, your somber eyes

[F] [Am]

And I'll still see until I die

[G]

You're the loss of my life

Who the fuck was that guy?

[Em] [C] [D]

You tried to buy some pills

[Em] [C] [D]

From a friend of friends of mine

[G] [C] [D]

They just ghosted you

[Em] [C] [D]

Now you know what it feels like

Chorus

[Em] [C] [D]

And I don't even want you back, I just want to know

[Em] [C] [D]

If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

[Em] [C] [D]

And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give

[Em] [C] [D]

A message to the smallest man who ever lived?

Verse 2

[G] [C] [D]

You hung me on your wall

[G] [C] [D]

Stabbed me with your push pins

[G] [C] [D]

In public, showed me off

Then sank in stoned oblivion

Who wanted me dead?

Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?

Were you writing a book?

[Em]

Were you a sleeper cell spy?

[D] [C]

In fifty years will all this be declassified?

[G]

And you'll confess why you did it

[Em]

And I'll say, "Good riddance"

[D] [C]

'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden

[G]

I would've died for your sins

[Em]

Instead I just died inside

[D] [C]

And you deserve prison, but you won't get time

[G] [Em]

You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars

[D] [C]

You crashed my party and your rental car

[G]

You said normal girls were "boring"

[Em]

But you were gone by the morning

[D] [C]

You kicked out the stage lights, but you're still performing

But you are what you did

Six weeks of breathing clean air

Were you making fun of me?

With some esoteric joke?

Now I wanna sell my house

[C]

And set fire to all my clothes

[G] [F] [G]

And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons

Chorus

[C] [G] [Em] [F] [C] [G] [Em] [F]

Even if I die screa----ming-ing

When someone plays the starting line and you jump up

Wise men once said

[G] [A]

"Wild winds are death to the candle"

[Bm] [A] [G] [A]

A rose by any other name is a scandal

[Bm] [A] [G]

Cautions issued, he stood

[A]

Shooting the messengers

[Bm] [A] [G] [A]

They tried to warn him about her

Cross your thoughtless heart

She is here to destroy you

Wise men once said

[G] [A]

"One bad seed kills the garden"

[Bm] [A] [G] [A]

"One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"

Locked me up in towers

But I'd visit in your dreams

[A] [G] [A]

And they tried to warn you about me

Chorus

[D] [A] [Bm]

Cross your thoughtless heart

[G] [D]

Only liquor anoints you

She's the albatross

Devils that you know

Raise worse hell than a stranger

[D] [A] [Bm]

She's the death you chose

[G]

You're in terrible danger

Bridge

[Em] [G] [D] [A] [Em] [G]

And when that sky rains fire on you

[D] [A] [Em] [G]

And you're persona non grata

[D] [A] [Em] [G]

I'll tell you how I've been there too

[D] [A]

And that none of it matters

Verse 3

[Bm] [A] [G]

Wise men once read fake news

[A]

And they believed it

Jackals raised their hackles

You were sleeping soundly when they dragged you from your bed

NO CAPO

Verse 1

[F]

Your hologram stumbled into my apartment

[C]

Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness

[F]

Named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus

[G]

And I just watched it happen

[F]

As the decade would play us for fools

[C]

And you saw my bones out with somebody new

[F]

Who seemed like he would've bullied you in school

[G]

And you just watched it happen

Chorus

[Dm] [G]

If you want to break my cold, cold heart

[C] [F]

Just say, "I loved you the way that you were"

[Dm] [G]

If you want to tear my world apart

[C] [F]

Just say you've always wondered

Verse 2

[F]

You said some things that I can't unabsorb

[C]

You turned me into an idea of sorts

[F]

You needed me, but you needed drugs more

[G]

And I couldn't watch it happen

[F]

I changed into goddesses, villains, and fools

[C]

Changed plans and lovers and outfits and rules

[F]

All to outrun my desertion of you

[G]

And you just watched it

Chorus

[Dm] [G]

If you want to break my cold, cold heart

[C] [F]

Just say, "I loved you the way that you were"

[Dm] [G]

If you want to tear my world apart

[C] [F]

Just say you've always wondered

Bridge

[Am]

If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh

[G]

Down that passage in time

[F]

Back to the moment I crashed into you

Like so many wrecks do

[G]

Too impaired by my youth

[F]

To know what to do

So if I sell my apartment

[C]

And you have some kids with an internet starlet

[F] [G]

Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon?

Like it never happened

[F]

Could it be enough to just float in your orbit?

[C]

Can we watch our phantoms like watching wild horses?

[F]

Cooler in theory, but not if you force it

[G]

To be, it just didn't happen

Chorus

[Dm] [G]

So if you want to break my cold, cold heart

[C] [F]

Say you loved me

[Dm] [G]

And if you want to tear my world apart

[C] [F]

Say you'll always wonder

Outro

[Dm] [G] [C]

[F] [Am]

'Cause I wonder

[G]

Will I always

[F] [G]

Will I always wonder?

Verse 1

[Bm]

Quick, quick

[D]

Tell me something awful like you are a poet

[G]

Trapped inside the body of a finance guy

Tell me all your secrets

All you'll ever be is

My eternal consolation prize

[Bm] [D]

You see I was a debutante in another life, but

[G]

Now I seem to be scared to go outside

If comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck

Now that I know what's what

Chorus

[D]

I hate it here so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind

[Bm]

People need a key to get to

The only one is mine

[A] [G]

I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

[D] [Bm]

I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

[A] [G]

I hate it here

Verse 2

[Bm]

My friends used to play a game where

[D]

We would pick a decade

[G]

We wished we could live in instead of this

I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists

And getting married off for the highest bid

[Bm] [D]

Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now

[G]

Seems like it was never even fun back then

Nostalgia is a mind's trick

If I'd been there, I'd hate it

It was freezing in the palace

Chorus

[D]

I hate it here so I will go to

Lunar valleys in my mind

[Bm]

When they found a better planet

Only the gentle survived

[A]

I dreamed about it in the dark

[G]

The night I felt like I might die

No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

[D] [Bm]

I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

[A] [G]

I hate it here

Bridge

[A]

I'm lonely, but I'm good

I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine

[G] [Em] [Bm]

I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I'll get lost on purpose

[G] [D]

This place made me feel worthless

[Em] [Bm] [G] [D]

Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it

[G]

And way up there, I actually love it

Chorus

[D]

I hate it here so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind

[Bm]

People need a key to get to

The only one is mine

[A] [G]

I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

[D] [Bm]

I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

Verse 1

[C] [G]

When I picture my hometown

There's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you

[C] [G]

And a plaque underneath it

[C] [G]

That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school

Pre-Chorus

[C] [G] [D]

And it was always the same searing pain

But I dreamed that one day, I could say

Chorus

[G] [C] [D]

All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin'

[G]

And I can't forgive the way you made me feel

[C] [D]

Screamed "Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky, as the blood was gushin'

[C] [G] [C] [G]

But I can't forget the way you made me heal

Verse 2

[C] [G] [D]

And it wasn't a fair fight, or a clean kill

Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе

[C] [G]

And then she wrote hеadlines

[C] [G]

In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I'd take

Pre-Chorus

[C] [G] [D]

And it was always the same searing pain

But I prayed that one day, I could say

Chorus

[G] [C] [D]

All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin'

[G]

And I couldn't wait to show you it was real

[C] [D]

Screamed "Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky, as the blood was gushin'

[G]

But I can't forget the way you made me heal

[Post-Chorus]

[C] [D]

Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

But she used to say she wished that you were dead

[G] [C]

So I pushed each boulder up that hill

[D]

Your words were still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my head

Bridge

[Em] [Am]

I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool

[G] [D]

I built a legacy which you can't undo

[Em] [Am]

But when I count the scars, there's a moment of truth

[G] [D] [C] [G] [C] [G]

That there wouldn't be this, if there hadn't been you

Verse 3

[C] [G]

And maybe you've reframed it

[D]

And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue

[C] [G]

I don't think you've changed much

[C] [G]

And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues

[C] [G]

And one day, your kid comes home singin'

[D]

A song that only us two is gonna know is about you, 'cause—

Chorus

[G] [C] [D]

All that time you were throwin' punches, it was all for nothin'

[G]

And our town, it looks so small, from way up here

[C] [D]

Screamed "Thank you, Aimee" to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin'

[G]

'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal

[Post-Chorus]

[C] [D]

Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

But she used to say she wished that you were dead

So I pushed each boulder up that hill

Your words were still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my head

A feather taken by the wind blowing

[G]

I'm afflicted by the not knowing so

Chorus

[Bm] [A]

I look in people's windows

[G]

Transfixed by rose golden glows

[Bm] [A] [G] [Bm]

They have their friends over to drink nice wine

[A]

I look in people's windows

[G]

In case you're at their table

[Bm] [A] [G]

What if your eyes looked up and met mine

[Bm] [G]

One more time

Verse 2

[Bm]

You had stopped and tiltеd your head

I still ponder what it meant

[G]

Now, now, now, now, now, now

[Bm]

I triеd searching faces on streets

What are the chances you'd be

[G]

Downtown, downtown, downtown

Pre-Chorus

[Bm]

Does it feel alright to not know me?

[G]

I'm addicted to the "if only"

Chorus

[Bm] [A]

So I look in people's windows

[G]

Like I'm some deranged weirdo

[Bm] [A] [G] [Bm]

I attend Christmas parties from outside

[A]

I look in people's windows

[G] [Bm]

In case you're at their table

[A] [G]

What if your eyes looked up and met mine

CAPO: 1

Intro

[Bm] [F#m] [D] [A]

Verse 1

[Bm]

Hand on the throttle

[F#m]

Thought I caught lightning in a bottle

[D] [A]

Oh, but it's gone again

[Bm]

And it was written

[F#m]

I got cursed like Eve got bitten

[D] [A]

Oh, was it punishment?

[Bm]

Pad around when I get home

[F#m]

I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope

[D]

A greater woman wouldn't beg

[A]

But I looked to the sky and said

Chorus

[E]

Please

[F#m]

I've been on my knees

[D]

Change the prophecy

Don't want money

[A] [E]

Just someone who wants my company

[F#m]

Let it once be me

[D]

Who do I have to speak to

[A]

About if they can redo the prophecy?

Verse 2

[Bm]

Cards on thе table

[F#m]

Mine play out like fools in a fablе

[D] [A] [Bm]

Oh, it was sinking in (Sinking in, oh)

Slow is the quicksand

[F#m]

Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand

[D] [A]

Oh, still I dream of him

Chorus

[E]

Please

[F#m]

I've been on my knees

[D]

Change the prophecy

Don't want money

[A] [E]

Just someone who wants my company

[F#m]

Let it once be me

[D]

Who do I have to speak to

[A]

About if they can redo the prophecy?

Bridge

[D]

And I sound like an infant

[A]

Feeling like the very last drops of an ink pen

[E]

A greater woman stays cool

[D]

But I howl like a wolf at the moon

[D]

And I look unstable

[A]

Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table

[E]

A greater woman has faith

[D]

But even statues crumble if they're made to wait

[A] [E]

I'm so afraid I sealed my fate

[D]

No sign of soulmates

[D] [A]

I'm just a paperweight, in shades of greige

[E] [D] [Bm] [F#m]

Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it'll be okay

Break

[D]

Ooh

[A]

Ooh

[Bm] [F#m]

Ooh

[D] [A]

Ooh

Chorus

[E]

Please

[F#m]

I've been on my knees

[D]

Change the prophecy

Don't want money

[A] [E]

Just someone who wants my company

[F#m]

Let it once be me

[D]

Who do I have to speak to

[A] [E] [F#m]

About if they can redo the prophecy?

[D] [A]

Who do I have to speak to

[E]

To change the prophecy?

Outro

Hand on the throttle

[F#m]

Thought I caught lightning in a bottle

[D] [A]

Oh, but it's gone again

[E]

Pad around when I get home

[F#m]

I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope

[D]

A greater woman wouldn't beg

[A] [E]

But I looked to the sky and said (Please)

TRACK 27 - Cassandra

WRITER/S: Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAPO: 3

Verse 1

[Dm] [C] [G]

I was in my new house placing daydreams

[Dm] [C] [G]

Patching up the crack along the wall

[Dm] [C] [G]

I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying

[Dm] [C] [G]

'Cause that's where I was when I got the call

Pre-Chorus

[Dm] [C] [G]

When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming

[Dm] [C] [G]

In the streets, there's a raging riot

[Dm] [C] [G]

When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking

[Dm] [C] [G]

When the truth comes out, it's quiet

Chorus

[Em] [G] [D]

So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst

[Em] [G] [D]

And tried to tell the town

[Em] [G] [D]

So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say

[Em] [G] [D]

Do you believe me now?

Verse 2

[Dm] [C] [G]

I was in my tower weaving nightmares

[Dm] [C] [G]

Twisting all my smiles into snarls

[Dm] [C] [G]

They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you aware"

[Dm] [C] [G]

What happens if it becomes who you are?

Chorus

[Em] [G] [D]

So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst

[Em] [G] [D]

And tried to tell the town

[Em] [G] [D]

So, they set my life in flames, I regret to say

[Em] [G] [D]

Do you believe me now?

Bridge

[C] [Em] [D]

They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time

That I was onto something

[C] [Em] [D]

The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line

They all said nothing

[C] [Em]

Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

[D]

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

[C] [Em] [D]

You can mark my words that I said it first

[Dm] [C] [G]

In a morning warning, no one heard

Verse 3

[Dm] [C] [G]

I patched up the crack along the wall

[Dm] [C] [G]

I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying

[Dm] [C] [G]

'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all

Chorus

[Em] [G] [D]

So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst

[Em] [G] [D]

And tried to tell the town

[Em] [G] [D]

So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say

[Em] [G] [D]

Do you believe me now?

Bridge

[C] [Em] [D]

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah

I was onto something

[C] [Em] [D]

Ah-ah-ah, ah

They all said nothing

[C] [Em] [D]

Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

[C] [Em] [D]

You can mark my words that I said it first

[C] [Em]

In a morning warning, no one heard

[D] [C] [Em] [D]

No one heard, not a single word was heard

Outro

[C] [Em] [D]

When the first stone's thrown, they're screaming

In the streets, there's a raging riot

[C] [Em] [D]

When it's "Burn the bitch," they're shrieking

[C] [Em]

When the truth comes out, it's quiet

[D]

It's so quiet

Verse 1

[C]

Forgive me, Peter

[Em]

My lost fearless leader

[Am]

In closets like cedar

[G] [F]

Preserved from when we were just kids

[G]

Is it something I did?

[C]

The goddess of timing

[Em]

Once found us beguiling

[Am]

She said she was trying

[G]

Peter, was she lying?

[F] [G]

My ribs get the feeling she did

Pre-Chorus

[Am] [G] [F]

And I didn't wanna come down

[Am] [G] [F]

I thought it was just goodbye for now

Chorus

[Dm]

You said you were gonna grow up

[F]

Then you were gonna come find me

[Am]

Said you were gonna grow up

[G]

Thеn you were gonna come find mе

[Dm]

Said you were gonna grow up

[F]

Then you were gonna come find me

[Am]

Words from the mouths of babes

[G] [F] [Dm]

Promises oceans deep

[C] [Em] [Am] [G]

But never to keep

[F] [G]

Oh, never to keep

Verse 2

[C]

Are you still a mind reader?

[Em]

A natural scene stealer?

[Am]

I've heard great things, Peter

[G] [F]

But life was always easier on you

[G]

Than it was on me

[C]

And sometimes it gets me

[Em]

When crossing your jet stream

[Am] [G]

We both did the best we could do

[F]

Underneath the same moon

[G]

In different galaxies

Pre-Chorus

[Am] [G] [F]

And I didn't wanna hang around

We said it was just goodbye for now

[G] [F] [Dm]

Promises oceans deep

[C] [Em] [Am] [G]

But never to keep

[F] [G]

Never to keep

Bridge

[C] [Am]

And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn

[F] [G]

As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return

[C] [Am]

With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned

[F] [G]

'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned

[C] [Am]

And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty-five

[F] [G]

And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired

[C] [Am]

Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life

[F] [G]

Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried

[Am] [G]

To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)

[F]

When you were mine

[Am] [G]

But the woman who sits by the window

[F] [Dm]

Has turned out the light

Chorus

[Dm]

You said you were gonna grow up

[F]

Then you were gonna come find me

[Am] [G]

Said you were gonna grow up

[Dm]

You said you were gonna grow up

[F]

Then you were gonna come find me

[Am] [G]

Said you were gonna grow up

[Dm]

You said you were gonna grow up

[F]

Then you were gonna come find me

[Am]

Said you were gonna grow up

[G]

Then you were gonna come find me

[Dm]

Said you were gonna grow up

[F]

Then you were gonna come find me

NO CAPO

Intro

[C]

Verse 1

[C] [G]

By all accounts, she almost drowned

[F]

When she was six in frigid water

[C]

And I can confirm she made

[G]

A curious child, ever reviled

[F]

By everyone except her own father

[C]

With a quite bewitching face

[G]

Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless

[F]

Excellent fun 'til you get to know her

[C]

Then she runs like it's a race

[G]

Behind her back, her best mates laughed

[F]

And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"

Chorus

[C]

Started with a kiss

[G]

"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

[F]

But it always ends up with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evening

[C]

Ended with the slam of a door

[G]

Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore

[F]

But as she was leaving

It felt like breathing

[G] [Am]

All her fuckin' lives

[F]

Flashed before her eyes

[G] [Am]

It feels like the time

[F]

She fell through the ice

[C]

Then came out alive

Verse 2

[G]

He was a cad, wanted her bad

[F]

Just like any good trophy hunter

[C]

And she liked the way he tastes

[G]

Taming a bear, making him care

[F]

Watching him jump then pulling him under

[C]

And at first blush, this is fate

[G]

When it's all roses, portrait poses

[F]

Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats

[C]

What a charming Saturday

[G]

That's when she sees the littlest leaks

Down in the floorboards

[F]

And she just knows

She must bolt

Chorus

[C]

Started with a kiss

[G]

"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

[F]

But it always ends up with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evening

[C]

Ended with the slam of a door

[G]

Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore

[F]

But as she was leaving

It felt like breathing

[G] [Am]

All her fuckin' lives

[F]

Flashed before her eyes

[G] [Am]

It feels like the time

[F]

She fell through the ice

[C]

Then came out alive

Bridge

[G]

She's been many places with

[Am]

Men of many faces

[C]

First, they're off to the races

And she's laughing drawin' aces

[G]

But, none of it is changin'

[Am]

That the chariot is waitin'

[C]

Hearts are hers for the breakin'

There's an escape in escaping

Chorus

[C]

Started with a kiss

[G]

"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

[F]

But it always ends up with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evenin'

[C]

Ended with the slam of a door

[G]

But she's got the best stories

You can be sure

[F]

That as she was leaving

It felt like freedom

[G] [Am]

All her fuckin' lives

[F]

Flashed before her eyes

[G]

And she realized

[Am]

It feels like the time

[F]

She fell through the ice

N.C.

Then came out alive

You're an animal, you are bloodthirsty

[C] [F] [G]

Out window panes talking utter nonsense

[F]

You have no idea

Strings tied to levers

Slowed-down clocks tethered

All this showmanship

[F] [C] [Am] [F]

To keep it for you in sweetness

You're a just ruler

Covered in mud, you look ridiculous

[F]

And you have no idea

Buried down deep and out of your reach

[G]

The secret we all vowed

[Em] [F]

You got the dragonflies above your bed

[G]

You have a favorite spot on the swing set

You have no room in your dreams for regrets

[Em]

(You have no idea)

[F]

The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean

[G]

You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline

But now we'll curtail your curiosity

[C] [Am] [F]

In sweetness

Chorus

[G] [C] [Am] [F]

Way to go, tiger (Way to go, tiger)

[C] [G] [G] [F]

Verse 1

[C] [G]

Now and then she rereads the manuscript

[G] [F]

Of the entire torrid affair

[C]

They compared their licenses

[G]

He said, "I'm not a donor but

[G] [F]

I'd give you my heart if you needed it"

[C]

She rolled her eyes and said

[G]

"You're a professional"

[G] [F]

He said, "No, just a good samaritan"

[C] [G]

He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was

[G] [F]

Soon they'd be pushin' strollers

[C] [G] [F] [C] [G] [F]

But soon it was over

Verse 2

[C] [G]

In the age of him, she wished she was thirty

[G] [F]

And made coffee every morning in a Frеnch press

[C] [G]

Afterwards she only atе kids' cereal

[G] [F]

And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed

[C] [G]

Then she dated boys who were her own age

[G] [F]

With dart boards on the backs of their doors

[C] [G]

She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years

[G] [F]

Everything had been above board

[C] [G] [F] [C] [G] [F]

She wasn't sure

Bridge

[G]

And the years passed

[Am] [F]

Like scenes of a show

[G] [Am] [F]

The Professor said to write what you know

[G]

Lookin' backwards

[C] [G] [F]

Might be the only way to move forward

[G]

Then the actors

[Am] [F]

Were hitting their marks

[G]

And the slow dance

[Am] [F]

Was alight with the sparks

[G]

And the tears fell

[C] [G] [F]

In synchronicity with the score

[G]

And at last

[C] [G] [F]

She knew what the agony had been for

Verse 3

[C] [G]

The only thing that's left is the manuscript

[G] [F]

One last souvenir from my trip to your shores

[C] [G]

Now and then I reread the manuscript

[G] [F]

But the story isn't mine anymore
