Taylor Swift - Suburban Legends (Taylor’s Version)

C
you had people
Am F
who called you on unmarked numbers
in my peripheral vision..
C
i let it slide
Am F
like a hose on a slippery plastic summer
all was quickly forgiven..

C Am
you were so magnetic,
F
it was almost obnoxious
C
flush with the currency of cool..
Am F
i was always turning out my empty pockets
G
and when it came to you..

Reff :
C Em
i.. didn’t come here to make friends
F G
we were born.. to be suburban legends
C Em
when you hold.. me, it holds me together
F
and you kiss me in a way
G
that’s gonna screw me up forever..

C
i had the fantasy
Am F
that maybe our mismatched star signs..
would surprise the whole school..
C Am F
when i ended up back at our class reunion
walking in with you..

C Am
you’d be more than a chapter
F
in my old diaries..
with the pages ripped out..
C Am F
i am standing in a 1950s gymnasium..
G
and i can still see you now..

Reff :
C Em
i.. didn’t come here to make friends
F G
we were born.. to be suburban legends
C Em
when you hold.. me, it holds me together
F
and you kiss me in a way
G
that’s gonna screw me up forever..

C Em
i.. know that you still remember
F G
we were born.. to be national treasures
C Em
when you told.. me, we’d get back together
F
and you kissed me in a way
G
that’s gonna screw me up forever..

C Am
tick tock on the clock,
F
i pace down your block
i broke my own heart
C
cause you were too polite to do it

Am
waves crash on the shore,
F
i dash to the door
you don’t knock anymore,
C
and my whole life’s ruined

Am
tick tock on the clock,
F
i pace down your block
i broke my own heart
C
cause you were too polite to do it

Am
waves crash to the shore,
F
i dash to the door
G
you don’t knock anymore
C Em F
and i always knew it..
G C Em F G C
and my life had been ruined..
