Taylor Swift - Gorgeous Ukulele

[Verse 1]
 C
You should take it as a compliment
                                              Am    F
That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk
 C
You should think about the consequence
                                            Am      F
Of your magnetic field being a little too strong
 C
And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us

He's in the club doing I don't know what
  Am
You're so cool, it makes me hate you so much
  F
(I hate you so much)


[Pre-Chorus 1]
G           F               Em
Whiskey on ice, Sunset and Vine
                  F                 G
You've ruined my life by not being mine


[Chorus]
  C
You're so gorgeous
                              Am
I can't say anything to your face
                     F      G
'Cause look at your face
 C
And I'm so furious
                                Am
At you for making me feel this way
                F      G
But what can I say?
  N.C.
You're gorgeous


[Verse 2]
 C
You should take it as a compliment
                                      Am    F
That I'm talking to everyone here but you
 C
And you should think about the consequence
                                         Am    F
Of you touching my hand in the darkened room
 C
If you've got a girlfriend, I'm jealous of her

But if you're single that's honestly worse
 Am
'Cause you're so gorgeous it actually hurts
  F
(Honey, it hurts)


[Pre-Chorus 2]
 G          F               Em
Ocean blue eyes looking in mine
               F                        G
I feel like I might sink and drown and die


[Chorus]
  C
You're so gorgeous
                              Am
I can't say anything to your face
                      F     G
'Cause look at your face
 C
And I'm so furious
                                Am
At you for making me feel this way
                F      G
But what can I say?
     N.C.
You're gorgeous


[Bridge]
 F
You make me so happy it turns back to sad
  G
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
  F                                     G
And you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
 F
You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah
  G
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
 F                                     G
Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats
 N.C.
Alone
   N.C. 
Unless you wanna come along


[Chorus]
 C
You're so gorgeous
                              Am
I can't say anything to your face
                     F    G
'Cause look at your face
 C
And I'm so furious
                                Am
At you for making me feel this way
                F     G
But what can I say?
    N.C.
You're gorgeous


[Outro]
 F
You make me so happy it turns back to sad
 G
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
 F                                      G
And you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
     N.C.
You're gorgeous
 F
You make me so happy it turns back to sad
 G
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
 F                                  G
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad
    N.C.
You're gorgeous
