Taylor Swift – Ours - The Last Great American Dynasty (Guitar)

C        Am          F
Elevator buttons and morning air

C                  Am                        F
Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs

C                       Am               F
If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares

          C   G/B         F       Fsus2*
But right now, my time is theirs

      C                   Am          F
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves

        C                  Am                F
They'll judge it like they know about me and you

        C                  Am                 F
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do

           C   G/B               F       Fsus2
The jury's out, but my choice is you

   F                    G
So don't you worry your pretty little mind

C                     Am
People throw rocks at things that shine

    F          G         Am
And life makes love look hard

               F                  G
The stakes are high, the water's rough

                 C       Am F
But this love is ours

C            Dm                  Am            F
Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

    C                    Dm                          F
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

C            Dm                       Am       F
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money

        C                     Dm                     F
And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"

C/E             Dm
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

Am              F
There's only so far new money goes

C                 Dm                  F
They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

C/E                Dm
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

Am             F
The doctor had told him to settle down

C/E               Dm                       F
It must have been her fault his heart gave out

G               Am                 F        C
"There goes the last great American dynasty

G                 Am                             F        C
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

G              Am                          F        C
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

C                        Dm                  Am        F
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

C                        Dm                  Am        G
She had a marvelous time ruining everything"

Dm                Am
They say she was seen on occasion

C                         G
Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea

Dm       Am
And in a feud with her neighbor

C                     G
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

Dm    Am
Fifty years is a long time

C                 G
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

Dm      Am                        C
Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits

G
And then it was bought by me

Am           C              F            C     C/B
And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and

Am             Gsus4               F          C     C/B
Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong and

Am               Gsus4              F               C
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for

you

Gsus4          Am                  F        C
There goes the last great American dynasty

Gsus4           Am                             F        C
Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been

Gsus4           Am                          F        C
There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

C                     Am
People throw rocks at things that shine

F          Gsus4       C      Am
They can't take what's ours

F          Gsus4       Am
They can't take what's ours

        F
I had a marvelous time

        Gsus4
I had a marvelous time

        C         C/B  Am*
I had a marvelous time ruining everything

This love is ours
