Taylor Swift - I Think He Knows Chords

[Verse 1]
            F
I think he knows
                          Am
His footprints on the sidewalk
                  Em
Lead to where I can't stop
                G7
Go there every night
             F
I think he knows
                     Am
His hands around a cold glass
               Em
Make me wanna know that
                 G7
Body like it's mine
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F
He got that boyish look that I like in a man
Am
I am an architect, I'm drawing up the plans
Em
It's like I'm 17, nobody understands
N.C.
No one understands
 
 
[Chorus]
           F
He got my heartbeat
  G7
Skipping down 16th Avenue
             Am
I got that, ah, I mean
        C
Wanna see what's under that attitude like
 F                  G7
I want you, bless my soul
                                        Am
And I ain't gotta tell him, I think he knows
             C
I think he knows
 
 
[Verse 2]
             F
I think he knows
                  Am
When we get all alone
                    Em
I'll make myself at home
                       G7
And he'll want me to stay
             F
I think he knows
                     Am
He'd better lock it down
                   Em
Or I won't stick around
                        G7
'Cause good ones never wait (Ha)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F
He got that boyish look that I like in a man

I am an architect, I'm drawing up the plans

He's so obsessed with me and, boy, I understand
 Mute
Boy, I understand
