Not the version she did with Tyler.

G
Every time I think of you
  Cadd9                 D
I always catch my breath
                G
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
      Cadd9           D
And I wonder why you left
              Em7
And there's a storm that's raging
             Cadd9        D
Through my frozen heart tonight


            G
I hear your name in certain circles
       Cadd9                D
And it always makes me smile
           G
I spend my time thinking about you
         Cadd9              D
And it's almost driving me wild
            Em7
But it's my heart that's breaking
          Cadd9                 D
Down this long distance line tonight


                       G
I ain't missing you at all
             Cadd9      D
Since you've been gone away
                   G
I ain't missing you
       Cadd9     D
No matter what I might say


          G
There's a message in the wire
        Cadd9                   D
And I'm sending you a signal tonight
            G
You don't know how desperate I've become
       Cadd9                       D
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
            Em7
But it's my heart that's breaking
          Cadd9                  D
Down this long dusty road of mine


                       G
I ain't missing you at all
             Cadd9      D
Since you've been gone away
                   G
I ain't missing you
       Cadd9        D
No matter what your friends say


              Em7
And there's a message that I am sending out
        Cadd9            D
Like a telegraph to your soul
Am
And if I can't bridge this distance, 
         Cadd9            D
Stop this heartbreak overload


                       G
I ain't missing you at all
             Cadd9      D
Since you've been gone away
                   G
I ain't missing you
       Cadd9        D
No matter what your friends say

                   G Cadd9 D
I ain't missing you

G Cadd9 D x3

Strumming Pattern:
The strumming pattern should reflect the song's emotional tone:

  G, Cadd9, D (repeated)

- Bridge:

Playing Tips:
- Switch chords smoothly, especially between Cadd9 and D, to keep the rhythm flowing.
- Emphasize downstrokes in the chorus for a more powerful rhythm.
- Practice cleanly pressing the strings for the Cadd9 and Em7 chords to avoid muted notes.

Common Mistakes:
- Switching between chords too slowly, disrupting the flow of the verses.
- Not pressing down firmly enough on the B string for the D chord, leading to buzzing or muted notes.
- Overstrumming G, making it dominate the other chords.

Song Meaning:
"Missing You" is a heartfelt ballad about longing for a lost connection. Taylor Swift
reflects on the emotions that come with distance and separation while trying to
maintain composure. The lyrics convey a mix of vulnerability and strength, paired
with a gentle yet rhythmic melody.
