Taylor Swift - This Love Chords

 Intro:      C      G      Am      F


 Verse:
    F
 Clear blue water
                                  C
 High tide, came and brought you in, and I could go, on and on, on and on
               F                                         C
 And I will, skyes grew darker, currents swept you out again

 And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone


 Pre-Chorus:
     F                  Am
 In silent screams, in wildest dreams
    F
 I never dreamed of this


 Chorus:
       C
 This love is good, this love is bad
       G                                 
 This love is alive back from the dead, oh
Am
 These hands had to let it go free
    F                            C      G      Am      F
 And this love came back to me


 Verse:
  F                                                         C
 Tossing, turning, struggled through the night for someone new

 And I could go, on and on, on and on
  F                                                C
 Lantern, burning, flickered in the mind only for you

 But you were still gone, gone, gone

 
 Pre-Chorus:
          F                Am
 Through losing grip, on sinking ships
       F
 You showed up just in time


 Chorus:
       C
 This love is good, this love is bad
       G                                 
 This love is alive back from the dead, oh
Am
 These hands had to let it go free
    F                            
 And this love came back to me
C
 This love left a permanent mark
       G
 This love is glowing in the dark
Am
 These hands had to let it go free
    F                            C      G      Am      F
 And this love came back to me


 Bridge:
G         Am
 Your kiss, my cheek
F         C
 I watched you leave
G         Am
 Your smile, my ghost
F      C
 I fell to my knees
G                 Am
 When you're young, you just run but you
F         C              G   Am   F
 Come back to what you neeeeeeeeeeed


Chorus:
       C
 This love is good, this love is bad
       G                                 
 This love is alive back from the dead
Am
 These hands had to let it go free
    F                            
 And this love came back to me
C
 This love left a permanent mark
       G
 This love is glowing in dark
Am
 These hands had to let it go free
    F                            
 And this love came back to me
