Misc Mashups – Taylor Swift - Coney Island - The National - The Alcott (Guitar)

C#m
  Break my soul in two looking for you

            D
But you're right here

E
  If I can't relate to you anymore

                 F#m       D
Then who am I related to?

C#m
  And if this is the long haul

             D
How'd we get here so soon?

E
  Did I close my fist around something delicate?

    F#m            D
Did I shatter you?

F#m                     E               B     F#m         E  B
I get myself twisted in threads to meet you at The Alcott

  A                       E          B           A   E  B
I go to the corner in the back where you'd always be

    F#m                      E          B          F#m       E  B
And there you are sittin' as usual with your golden notebook

A                       E           B         A   E  B
Writin' something about someone who used to be me

        E
And the last thing you wanted

       B
Is the first thing I do

  C#m
I tell you my problems

    B
You tell me the truth

         E
It's the last thing you wanted

         B
It's the first thing I do

  C#m
I tell you that I think I'm fallin'

B
  Back in love with you

        F#m                          D
And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island

                        A
Wondering where did my baby go?

                                        C#m
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go

D                        E
Sorry for not making you my centerfold

         F#m
Over and over

D
Lost again with no surprises

A
Disappointments close your eyes

    C#m                D
And it gets colder and colder

              E
When the sun goes down

F#m                  E       B       F#m            E  B
I sit there silently waiting for you to look up (ah ah ah)

A                    E  B        A   E  B
I see you smile when you see it's me

  F#m                    E          B          F#m       E  B
I had to do something to break into your golden thinking

A                     E           B           A         E  B
How many times will I do this and you'll still believe?

F#m
  The question pounds my head

                      D
What's a lifetime of achievement

E
  If I pushed you to the edge?

                           F#m      D
But you were too polite to leave me

C#m
  Do you miss the rogue

                                 D
Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

E
  Will you forgive my soul

                                      F#m             D
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?

         E
It's the last thing you wanted

         B
It's the first thing you do

    C#m
You tell me your problems

      B
And I tell you the truth

         E
It's the last thing you wanted

         B
It's the first thing I do

  C#m
I tell you that I think I'm fallin'

B
  Back in love with you

       F#m                               D
'Cause we were like the mall before the internet

               A
It was the one place to be

                                  C#m
The mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreams

D                           E
Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

         F#m
Over and over

D
Lost again with no surprises

A
Disappointments close your eyes

    C#m                 D
And it gets colder and colder

              E
When the sun goes down

F#m                        D
  Were you waiting at our old spot

       A
By the gold clock

C#m                        D
  Were you standing in the hallway

                       E
With a big cake, happy birthday

      F#m
A universe away

            D
And when I got into the accident

    A
The sight that flashed before me was your face

C#m                                    E
  But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name

         A
And I'll ruin it all over (ha ha)

     C#m
I'll ruin it for you (ha ha)

         F#m
Over and over

D
Lost again with no surprises

A
Disappointments close your eyes

         E
And I'll ruin it all over (ha)

              B
And over like I always do

    C#m                 D
And it gets colder and colder

              E
When the sun goes down

                A
(Why don't you)

                     C#m
(Rain on my parade?)

              F#m      D
When the sun goes down

    A
The sight that flashed before me was your face

              C#m     D
When the sun goes down

                         E
(Shred my evening gown)

                                B
(Read my sentence out loud)

      E
But I think that I forgot to say your name

         F#m  D
Over and over

         E
It's the last thing I wanted

         B
It's the first thing I do

  C#m
I tell you my problems

        B
And you tell me the truth

         E
It's the last thing I wanted

         B
It's the first thing I do

  C#m
I tell you that I think I'm fallin'

B                                             A
  Back in love,             back in love with you

A  E         B         A   E  B
     Back in love with you
