Chords
Here are the chords to 'My Tears Ricochet' by Taylor Swift
from her album 'Folklore'! It's one of her Track 5s which are famously
known for being deep and emotionally vulnerable.
This song isn't too hard to play but there is some syncopation during the last
two lines of the bridge which may throw off some beginners.
Just listen and practise with the actual track and you'll get the hang of it.
Have fun playing :)
[Intro]
C G Em F
Am G Em F x2
[Verse 1]
Am G We gather here, we line up Em F Weeping in a sunlit room Am G Em F And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too Am G Even on my worst day, did I deserve babe Em F All the hell you gave me Am 'Cause I loved you G Em F I swear I loved you 'til my dying day
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F C Dm I didn't have it in myself to go with grace Am F C Dm And you're the hero flying around saving face Am F C And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake Dm Am Cursing my name, wishing I stayed F Look at how my tears ricochet
[Instrumental]
C Dm Am F
[Verse 2]
Am G Em F We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean Am G Em F Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring Am G You know I didn't want to have to haunt you Em F But what a ghostly scene Am G Em F You wear the same jewels that I gave you as you bury me
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F C Dm I didn't have it in myself to go with grace Am F C Dm 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave Am F C And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake Dm Am Cursing my name, wishing I stayed F Look at how my tears ricochet
[Bridge]
C Dm Am And I can go anywhere I want F C Anywhere I want, just not home Dm Am And you can aim for my heart, go for blood F C But you would still miss me in your bones Dm Am F C And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky) Dm Am F And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)
[Final Chorus]
Dm Am F C Dm I didn't have it in myself to go with grace Am F C Dm And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves Am F C You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same Dm Am Cursing my name, wishing I stayed F You turned into your worst fears C Dm Am And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, F Crossing out the good years C Dm Am And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed F Look at how my tears ricochet
[Outro]
C Dm Am F x3
