Written by Taylor Swift
Am G Em F We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room Am G Em F And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too Am G Em Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe F All the hell you gave me? Am G 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you Em F C 'Til my dying day Dm Am F C I didn't have it in myself to go with grace Dm Am F C And you're the hero flying around, saving face Dm 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 ( C Dm Am F ) 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 You wear the same jewels that I gave you Em F C As you bury me Dm Am F C I didn't have it in myself to go with grace Dm Am F C 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave Dm 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 C Dm And I can go anywhere I want Am F Anywhere I want, just not home C Dm And you can aim for my heart, go for blood Am F But you would still miss me in your bones C Dm Am F And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky) C Dm Am F And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies) C Dm Am F C I didn't have it in myself to go with grace Dm Am F C And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves Dm Am F You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same C 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
