Taylor Swift - Teardrops On My Guitar Ukulele

F      Am     F     G
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won’t see
F      Am           F        G
That I want and I’m needing, everything that we should be
Am                      F
I'll bet she’s beautiful, that girl he talks about
F                             G
And she’s got everything that I have to live without
 
F      Am     F     G
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it’s so damn funny
F        Am       F    G
That I can’t even see, anyone when he’s with me
Am                       F
He says he’s so in love, he’s finally got it right
F                         G
I wonder if he knows he’s all I think about at night
 
F                       G
He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Am                           F
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
F                    G                              Am       F
He’s the song in the car I keep singing, don’t know why I do
 
F    Am       F   G
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can’t breathe?
F            Am             F
And there he goes so perfectly
            G
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
Am                           F
She’d better hold him tight, give him all her love
F                            G
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she’s lucky cause
 
F                       G
He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Am                           F
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
F                    G                              Am       F
He’s the song in the car I keep singing, don’t know why I do
 
Am                     F
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
F                           G
I put his picture down, and maybe get some sleep tonight
 
F                             G
Cause he’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Am                      F
The only one who’s got enough of me to break my heart
F                    G                              Am       F
He’s the song in the car I keep singing, don’t know why I do
         F                           G
He’s the time, taken up, but there’s never enough
         Am                      F
And he’s all that I need to fall into
 
F      Am     F     G                        F
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won’t see
