Taylor Swift - Blank Space Chords

[Verse 1]
C
 Nice to meet you where you been
                          Am
I can show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven sin

Saw you there and I thought
F
Oh my God, look at that face

You look like my next mistake
G                    
Love's a game, want to play?
C
 New money, suit and tie
                          Am
I can read you like a magazine

Ain't it funny rumors fly

And I know you heard about  
F
Me so hey, lets be friends

I'm dying to see how this one ends
G
Grab your passport and my hand
N.C.                      
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

[Chorus]
C                                                        Am
 So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over mmm
                              Dm
If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers
                           F
They'll tell you I'm insane
                                                       C
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
C
Cause we're young and we're reckless
                           Am
We'll take this way too far

 It'll leave you breathless, mmm
                    Dm
Or with a nasty scar

 Got a long list of ex-lovers
                           F
They'll tell you I'm insane  
                          F   N.C.                C
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name

[Verse 2]
C
Cherry lips, crystal skies
                            Am
I could show you incredible things

Stolen kisses, pretty lies
                              F
You're the king baby I'm your queen

Find out what you want       
           
Be that girl for a month
G       
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no
 C                         
Screaming crying perfect storms
                          Am
I can make all the tables turn

Rose garden filled with thorns

Keep you second guessing
      F
Like "Oh my god who is she?"

I get drunk on jealousy
    G
But you'll come back each time you leave
       N.C.
Cause darlin' I'm a nightmare, dressed like a daydream

[Chorus]
C                                                        Am
 So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over, mm
                              Dm
If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers
                           F
They'll tell you I'm insane
                                                       C
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
 C
Cause we're young and we're reckless
                           Am
We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mmm
                    Dm
Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers
                           F
They'll tell you I'm insane (insane)
                          F  N.C.
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name

[Bridge]
C           
Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you
 
Boys only want love if it's torture
N.C.
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you

[Chorus]
C                                                        Am
 So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over mmm
                              Dm
If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers
                           F
They'll tell you I'm insane
                                                       C
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game


Cause we're young and we're reckless
                           Am
We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mmm
                    Dm
Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers
                           F
They'll tell you I'm insane  
F                               N.C.
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name
