Chords with lyrics
Red - Taylor's Version, From The Vault!
C
They tell you while you’re young
Am
“Girls, go out and have your fun”
Em
Then they hunt and slay the ones who
F G
actually do it
C
Criticize the way you fly
Am
When you’re soaring through the sky
Em
Shoot you down and then they sigh
F G
And say, “she looks like she’s been through it”
F
Lord, what will become of me
G
Once I’ve lost my novelty?
F G C
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
And I know it’s sad
C7
but this is what I think about
F G C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F G
How can a person know everything at eighteen
C Em Am
But nothing at 22?
F
And will you still want me
G
when I’m nothing new?
C
How long will it be cute
Am
all this crying in my room?
Em
When you can’t blame it on my youth
F G
And roll your eyes with affection
C
And my cheeks are growing tired
Am
From turning red and faking smiles
Em
Are we only biding time
F G
till I lose your attention?
F
And someone else lights up the room
G
people love an ingénue
F G C
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
C7
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
F G C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F G
How can a person know everything at eighteen
C Em Am
But nothing at 22?
F
And will you still want me
G
when I’m nothing new?
F
I know someday I’m gonna meet her
G F
It’s a fever dream
F G F
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
F
She’ll know the way
F G F
and then she’ll say she got the map from me
F
I’ll say I am happy for her
Am G C
then I’ll cry myself to sleep
Cm
Ooh woah, ooh woah, ooh, ooh
F F G C
I’ve had (I’ve had) too much to drink tonight
But I wonder if they’ll
C7
miss me once they drive me out
F F G C
I wake up (wake up) in the middle of the night
Am
And I can feel time moving
F G
How can a person know everything at eighteen
C Em Am
But nothing at 22?
F G
And will you still want me
C Am
will you still want me
F G C
Will you still want me when I am nothing new?
