Taylor Swift - Treacherous Chords

Intro: C G Am F (2x)

C                      G
Put your lips close to mine
   Am                   F
As long as they don't touch
C                    G
Out of focus eye to eye
          Am              F
Till the gravity is too much
C                       G
And ill do anything you say
       Am                 F
If you say it with your hands
C                        G                Am         F
And i'd be smart to walk away but you're quick sand

C            G    
This love is Treacherous
Am           F
This path reckless
C            G              
This love is Treacherous
Am         F
And I I I like it

Instrumental- C 

C                        G
I can't decide if it's a choice
Am               F
Getting swept away
C                          G
I hear the sound of my own voice
Am              F
Asking you to stay
C                          G    Am                   F
And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along
C                      G                 Am          F
Forever going with the flow but you're friction

C            G
This love is Treacherous
Am         F
This path reckless 
C            G
This love is Treacherous
Am       F
I I I like it

G               Am                         F
Two headlights shine through the sleepless nights
           C
And I will get you and get you alone
G             Am                F
Your name has echoed through my mind
            C
And I just think you should think you should know
G               Am                F       
Them not being safe is worth the drive and I will 
C                       G
follow you follow you home
Am                       F
I follow you follow you home

And I will get you and get you alone

How to play "Treacherous" on guitar

[Intro]
- Chords: C, G, Am, F (play twice)
- Strumming: Downstrums, soft and steady to set the mood.

[Verse 1]
- C G Am F progression: 
  Keep a consistent down-up strumming pattern. 
- Emphasize transitions between chords.
- Focus on the dynamics of your strumming to match the soft, 
  intimate feel of the lyrics.

[Chorus]
- "This love is Treacherous": 
  Use downstrokes to emphasize "Treacherous" and "reckless".
- Let the chords ring out slightly to give a sense of suspense.

[Instrumental]
- Play a single C chord with downstrum.

[Verse 2]
- Follow the same chord progression and strumming pattern as 
  Verse 1.
- Pay attention to the lyrics and adjust your strumming intensity 
  to match the emotion of the song.

[Bridge]
- "Two headlights shine through the sleepless nights":
  G, Am, F, C: Play with slightly stronger strums to highlight the 
  change in lyrics.
- Emphasize the change from G to Am, letting the Am chord 
  resonate.
- Strumming: Mix of down and up strums, more intense than in 
  verses.

[Breakdown]
- One-strum technique: C, G, Am, F 
  Strum each chord once, let it ring out to match the reflective 
  tone of the lyrics.
- Maintain a gentle touch to emphasize the vulnerability in the 
  lyrics.

[Chorus Reprise]
- Repeat the chorus progression: C, G, Am, F
- Increase strumming intensity slightly for the final repetition, 
  giving a sense of resolution.

[Outro]
- Repeat the "follow you home" lines with C, G, Am, F.
- Let the final F chord ring out softly to close the song.

Common mistakes:
- Rushing chord transitions: Practice switching between C, G, Am, 
  and F smoothly.
- Inconsistent strumming: Start slow, gradually match the tempo.
- Not matching dynamics: Pay attention to the lyrics and adjust 
  strumming accordingly.
