Tuning: Capo 3

I guess I should’ve put chord charts with this.
There are 2 ways you could play these chords, I believe Taylor
actually uses both, (in the original version anyway)
playing the regular G, D, Em, C during
the second half of each verse and the bridge
(¨I’ll bet she’s beautiful...¨ ¨He says he’s so in love...¨
She’d better hold him tight...¨ ¨So I drive home alone...¨)
and the G, Dsus4, Em7, Cadd9 the rest of the time.

I think in the radio remix / Deluxe Edition version
it’s G, Dsus4, Em7, Cad99 throughout the whole song.
   G   D  Em   C  or   G  Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9
e|-3---2---0---0-|  e|-3----3----3----3-|
B|-3---3---0---1-|  B|-3----3----3----3-|
G|-0---2---0---0-|  G|-0----2----0----0-|
D|-0---0---2---2-|  D|-0----0----2----2-|
A|-2---x---2---3-|  A|-2----x----2----3-|
E|-3---x---0---x-|  E|-3----x----0----x-|

G      Em     C     D
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
G      Em           C        D
That I want and I'm needing, everything that we should be
Em                      C
I’ll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
G                             D
And she's got everything that I have to live without

G      Em     C     D
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
G        Em       C    D
That I can't even see, anyone when he's with me
Em                       C
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right
G                         D
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

G                       D
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Em                           C
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
G                    D                              Em       C
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

G    Em       C   D
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
G            Em             C
And there he goes so perfectly
            D
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
Em                           C
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
G                            D
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

G                       D
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Em                           C
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
G                    D                              Em       C
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Em                     C
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
G                           D
I put his picture down, and maybe get some sleep tonight

G                             D
Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Em                      C
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
G                    D                              Em       C
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
         G                           D
He's the time, taken up, but there's never enough
         Em                      C
And he's all that I need to fall into

G      Em     C     D                        G
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

THE END
