Taylor Swift - The Very First Night Chords

[Intro]
Csus2
 
[Chorus]
       G       D/A  Csus2
I wish I could fly
                            Em7     D/F#  Csus2
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time
          G           D   Csus2
I'd write this in the sky
                           G/D        D     G
I miss you like it was the very first night
 
[Verse 1]
 
And so it goes
                               Dsus
Every weekend, this same party
                 D
I never go alone
                                Em7
And I don't seem broken-hearted
 
My friends all say they know
                             Csus2
Everything I'm going through
 
I drive down different roads
                              Am7
But they all lead back to you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                                 Csus2              G
'Cause they don't know about the night in the hotel
                           D/F#                   Am7
They weren't ridin' in the car  when we both fell
                            Csus2            G
Didn't read the note on the Polaroid picture
                    D               Csus2
They don't know how much I miss you
 
[Chorus]
         G D         Csus2
I wish I   could fly
                            Em7  D/F#      Csus2
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in   time
               G    D       Csus2
I'd write this   in the sky
                           D                G
I miss you like it was the very first night
 
[Verse 2]
 
And so it was
                       Dsus
We never saw it coming
                           D
Not trying to fall in love
                                 Em7
But we did like children running
 
Back then, we didn't know
                            Csus2
We were built to fall apart
 
We broke the status quo
                                  Am7
Then we broke each other's hearts
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                           Csus2            G
But don't forget about the night out in L.A
                               D/F#                     Am7
Dance in the kitchen, chase me down through the hallway
                       Csus2                   G
No one knows about the words that we whispered
                 D               Csus2
No one knows how much I miss you
 
[Chorus]
         G D         Csus2
I wish I   could fly
                            Em7  D/F#      Csus2
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in   time
               G    D       Csus2
I'd write this   in the sky
                           D                Csus2
I miss you like it was the very first night
 
[Post-Chorus]
             G
Take me away
D            Csus2
Take me away
             Em7
Take me away
   D/F#    Csus2
To you, to you
             G
Take me away
D            Csus2
Take me away
             D
Take me away
           Em7
To you, to you
 
[Bridge]
               Csus2              G
I remember the night at the hotel
                    D/F#              Em7
I was ridin' in the car  when we both fell
                   A7               Csus2
I'm the one on the phone as you whisper
                 D           Csus2  G D Csus2
"Do you know how much I miss you?"
 
[Breakdown]
                        Em7  D/F#      Csus2
I wish that we could go back in   time
        G      D   Csus2
And I'd say to you
                            D
"I miss you like it was the very first night"
 
[Chorus]
         G D         Csus2
I wish I   could fly
                            Em7  D/F#      Csus2
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in   time
               G    D       Csus2
I'd write this   in the sky
                           D                Csus2
I miss you like it was the very first night
 
[Post-Chorus]
             G
Take me away
D            Csus2
Take me away
             Em7
Take me away
   D/F#    Csus2
To you, to you
             G
Take me away
D            Csus2
Take me away
             D
Take me away
           G
To you, to you
