A Place In This World Chords

(ver. 2)
Taylor Swift
                  G                D
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
            C                      D 
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
                             G              D
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
           C                           D
Trying to see through the rain coming down
       Em                C
Even though I'm not the only one
      G              D
Who feels the way I do

[Chorus:]

     Em           C               G        D
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
     Em                 C             G           D
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
            A           F           C        G
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

(Same chords)

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's ok

[Repeat Chorus]

 C                G          D
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
 C               D
But I'm ready to fly

[Repeat Chorus]

		G D Em C
Oh I'm just a girl,
		G D Em C
Oh I’m just a girl
		G D Em C
Oh I’m just a girl

Ending G D Em C G



How to play "A Place In This World" by Taylor Swift on guitar

This song features a classic pop-country chord progression that's both
engaging and suitable for beginners. The use of a capo on the 2nd fret 
is recommended to align with the original key, making it easier to 
sing along.

Chords Used:
G, D, C, Em, A, F

Strumming Pattern:
- Use a steady strumming pattern throughout the song:
  Down, Down-Up, Up-Down-Up
- This pattern gives a lively rhythm that complements the optimistic 
  tone of the lyrics.

Verse:
- Begin with the G chord, transitioning to D. This sets a hopeful,
  forward-moving tone right from the start.
- When playing "I don't know what I want, so don't ask me," align the
  lyrics smoothly with the chord changes from G to D to C and back to
  D, reflecting the song's theme of searching and uncertainty.

Chorus:
- The chorus uses a sequence of Em, C, G, D, which builds an 
  uplifting musical atmosphere. The lyrics "I'm alone, on my own, and 
  that's all I know" should be emphasized with these chord changes.
- Maintain the rhythmic strumming pattern to drive the chorus's
  emotional impact.

Bridge:
- The bridge ("Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission") switches to A and F,
  offering a slight tonal shift that highlights the resolve in the 
  lyrics. This part may require practice due to the quick shift to the 
  F chord, which is typically more challenging.

Common Mistakes:
- Rushing through the chord changes, especially during the chorus. Take
  time to ensure each chord is fully resonated.
- Not placing the capo correctly on the 2nd fret or skipping it,
  which can lead to singing in an uncomfortable key.

General Tips:
- Practice the chord transitions slowly at first, without strumming, to
  get the hand movements right.
- Ensure your guitar is properly tuned with the capo in place to avoid
  any off-key sounds.
- Sing along with the guitar playing to integrate the lyrics with the
  chord changes effectively.

Meaning of the Lyrics:
- "A Place In This World" is about the youthful quest for identity and
  belonging. It captures the universal feeling of trying to find one's
  path in life, filled with optimism and the inevitable uncertainties
  of growing up.
