 Just breathe, just relax, it'll be ok
Am
  Just an hour till your car's in the driveway
Em                                          C
  Just the first time ever hanging out with you, tonight

Em                                                C
  Cause every time I tried hard for love it fell apart, oh
G
 I've gotten used to no one calling my phone

Just one time, just one time

[Bridge]
               C
I was thinking just one time (Just one time)
          Em
Maybe the starts align (Just one time)
            C
And maybe I call you mine
                   D
And you won't need space
 
Or string me along when you decide
    C
And just one time (Just one time)
          Em
Maybe the moment's right (Just one time)
     C              D            G D/F# Em C
It's 8:05 and I see two headlights

 All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life

How to play "Electric Touch" by Taylor Swift on guitar

Intro and Verse Strumming Pattern:
- Start with a smooth, steady strumming pattern using downstrokes
  for a calm, reflective mood in the intro and verses.
- Strum each chord softly to convey the song's introspective tone.

Chord Transitions:
- Pay attention to the transitions between G, Am, Em, and C.
  Practice these changes to ensure they are smooth and fluid,
  particularly in the verse where the emotional narrative builds.

Chorus Approach:
- For the chorus, shift to a slightly more dynamic strumming pattern.
  Include both down and up strums to increase the emotional impact.
- Emphasize the transition to D/F# to highlight the lyrical themes of
  revival and energy implied by "electric touch."

Bridge and Instrumental:
- During the bridge, consider using palm muting to create a more
  introspective sound before building back into the full chorus.
- Use the instrumental section to explore melodic lead lines or
  continue with a steady rhythm to maintain the song's flow.

Common Mistakes:
- Not adjusting strumming intensity between verses and chorus. This
  dynamic shift is crucial for conveying the song's emotional shifts.
- Rushing through the chord transitions, especially in the faster-paced
  chorus. Keep timing steady and synchronized with the lyrics.

General Tips:
- Regularly tune your guitar to ensure clean sound quality, especially
  since the song uses open chords which can sound off if the guitar
  is out of tune.
- Practice chord shapes and transitions separately before playing along
  with the song to ensure each chord rings clearly.

Lyrics Overview:
"Electric Touch" explores themes of vulnerability and cautious hope in
the context of new relationships. The lyrics reflect on past disappointments
while still longing for a connection that could reinvigorate life and love.
