Taylor Swift - Being With My Baby Bass

[Intro]
 C G Am F
 
[Verse 1]
C                            G
All is quiet in the world tonight
 Am                   F
Counting stars and fireflies
     C              G
And summer sing a lullaby
 Am            F
for me and my baby
 C                   G
on the hood of his daddy's car
    Am              F
we pass around his old guitar
     C                    G
bet mama's wondering where we are
      Am             F
it's just me and my baby
G
The world is spinning round
G                         C
Cause look just what I've found
 
[Chorus]
C                             G
Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Am                           F
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
C                              G
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Am                         F                C  G  Am  F
Cause nothing's quite like being with my baby
 
[Verse 2]
C                        G
Driving home by the river side
Am                        F
Wishing I could slow down time
C                     G
Taking pictures with my mind
Am                F
Both me and my baby
C                       G
The car pulls up and I'm home too late
 Am                F
We didn't take that interstate
      C               G
That back road was a better way
 Am             F
For me and my baby
 G                 C
The closer that we get
  G                 C
I know, I can't leave yet
 
[Chorus]
C                             G
Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Am                           F
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
C                              G
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Am                         F                C  G  Am  F
Cause nothing's quite like being with my baby
 
[Bridge]
C      G     Am        F
Look at what we've found
C      G     Am          F
So he turns that car around
 
[Chorus]
C                             G
Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Am                           F
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
C                              G
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Am                         F
Ooh, hanging with my baby
C        G
Ooh ooh, yeah
Am                        F C G
Keepin' it young and crazy
