Taylor Swift – Long Story Short - The Story Of Us (Guitar Acoustic)

F        C
Fatefully

             G                       Am
I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me

F     C
Misery

          G              Am
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep

F        C
And you passed right by

G                       Am        G
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides

F         C
The knife cuts both ways

        G                      Am             G
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break

F                    C
And I fell from the pedestal

                 G
Right down the rabbit hole

              Am                   F
Long story short, it was a bad time

                   C
Pushed from the precipice

              G
Clung to the nearest lips

             Am                      F
Long story short, it was the wrong guy

F       C            G
Now I'm all about you

     Am             F
I'm all about you, ah

C       G
Yeah, yeah

     Am         G    F
I'm all about you, ah

C      G
Yeah, yeah

                    C
I'm all about you, ah

C                    G                          F
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

                    F
How we met and the sparks flew instantly

C                  G                         F
And people would say, "They're the lucky ones"

C                   G                         F
I used to know my place was the spot next to you

                       F                   C
Now I'm searchin' the room for an empty seat

                            G                     F
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

G                   Am
Oh, a simple complication

           F
Miscommunications lead to fallout

G
So many things that I wish you knew

F
So many walls up, I can't break through

C                   G                   F
Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

               F
And we're not speakin'

C                 G                     F
And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

                  F
Like it's killin' me? Yeah

C                     G                       Am
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

                    F
When it all broke down

         C                   G                  F
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

C
This is looking like a contest

F
Of who can act like they care less

    C                       G              F
But I liked it better when you were on my side

C
The battle's in your hands now

F
But I would lay my armor down

    C              G                 F
If you said you'd rather love than fight

F      C
Past me

         G                   Am
I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things

F           C
Your nemeses

        G                      Am                      F
Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing

         C
And he's passing by

G                        Am        G    F
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky

        C
And he feels like home

        G                     Am         G
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go

C                 G                   F
Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

               F
And we're not speakin'

C                  G                  F
And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

                   F
Like it's killin' me? Yeah

C                         G                       Am
And I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

                    F
When it all broke down

          C                  G                  F            C G
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

F              F
And we're not speakin'

C                 G                   F
And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

                   F
Like it's killin' me? Yeah

C                     G                       Am
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

                    F
'Cause we're goin' down

          C                  G                  F
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
