Taylor Swift - Taylor Medley Chords

***CAPO 5***

G
maybe I was naive, 
Cadd9
got lost in your eyes 
    Em7                     Cadd9
and never really had a chance 
G                          Cadd9     
my mistake I didn't know to be in love 
           Em7                     Cadd9
you had to fight to have the upper hand 
      Em7
I had so many dreams 
     Cadd9
about you and me 
      D
happy endings, now I know 

Em7          D/F#           Cadd9
And it's not theirs to speculate
        Em7  D/F# Em7            D/F#               Cadd9        Em7  D/F#
If it's wrong and your hands are tough but they are where mine belong and
Em7              D/F#               Cadd9           Em7  D/F# Cadd9
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you

G                Em7              Cadd9
Cause I love the gap between your teeth
G              Em7              Cadd9
And I love the riddles that you speak
        G                     Em7          Cadd9                   G
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
D/F#              Cadd9
Cause my heart is yours

G D Am C 
     

G                   D
Fond gestures are exchanged 
        Am                         
And the organ starts to play a song 
     C
That sounds like a death march
    G                     D
And I am hiding in the curtains
              Am
It seems that I was uninvited 
        C
By your lovely bride-to-be

Am      C      
She---e floats down the aisle 
       G            D   
Like a pageant queen 
    Am   C
But I--I kno--ow 
    G
You wish it was me
    D -stop
You wish it was me- Don't you?

start playing  G                       Em7
'cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale 
          Cadd9
I'm gonna find someone someday who might 
 D
actually treat me well
         G                      Em7
this is a big world, that was a small town
            Cadd9                      D
there in my rearview mirror disappearing now
         Em7           Gmaj7
and it's too late for you 
         Cadd9                            
and your white horse, 
        Em7          Gmaj7        Cadd9*                      G*  
now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now
