New Years Day Chords by Taylor Swift

New Years Day chords by Taylor Swift

Guitar chords with lyrics

I kinda worked out a lil' intro tab that works for
the repeating piano riff, so here it is:

   C     Am    F
e|----0-0---0-0----|
B|----1-1---1-1----|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-3-----0---------|
E|-------------1---|

Verse 1:
C Am F                                           C Am F
      There's glitter on the floor after the party
                                            C Am F
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
                                 C         Am  F
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
                                C Am F
You and me from the night before,        but

Chorus:
C     Am   F   C
Don't read the last page
C     Am   F
But I stay when you're lost, and I'm scared
                   C
And you're turning away
  Am        F
I want your midnights
C                         Am                  F          C
  But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day


Verse 2:
C Am F                                                   C  Am F
      You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
                                         C  Am F
I can tell that it's gonna be a long road
                                                    C Am F
I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe
                                             C
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home


Chorus:
C     Am       F
Don't read the last page
C     Am   F
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong
                    C
Or we're making mistakes
  Am   F
I want your midnights
C                       Am                  F          C
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day


Break:
        C   Am           F                G
Hold on        to the memories, they will hold on to you
C     Am           F                G
 Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
C     Am           F                G          Am  G
 Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
F            G
  And I will hold on to you


Bridge:
C      Am    F             G
Please don't ever become a stranger
      C     Am      F         G
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
C      Am    F             G
Please don't ever become a stranger
      C     Am      F         G
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

      There's glitter on the floor after the party
                                            C Am F
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
                                 C         Am  F
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
                      C
You and me forevermore


Chorus:

C     Am       F
Don't read the last page
C     Am   F
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong
                    C
Or we're making mistakes
  Am   F
I want your midnights
C                       Am                  F          C
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day


Break:

        C   Am          F                 G
Hold on        to the memories, they will hold on to you
C     Am           F                G
 Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
C     Am           F                G          Am  G
 Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
F            G
  And I will hold on to you
                    (hold on)

Outro:
C      Am           F               G
Please don't        ever  become  a stranger
          to the memories they will hold on to you
      C     Am          F               G
Whose laugh I could     recognize       anywhere
      Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you
C      Am          F                G
Please don't       ever  become  a  stranger
 Hold on  to the memories they will hold on to you
      C     Am       F         G
Whose laugh I could  recognize anywhere
                      I will   hold on to
