Brought Up That Way chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

G
Emily comes home from school
                        G6
Grabs on to her daddy's hand
        G
He says baby girl what's wrong with you
                                  G6
She says, please don't make me go back there again
           C                                   C2
She said I wish there was some way to make 'em stop it
      C                                 G          D -once
So he drives down to that principal's office, and says

         G
I didn't bring her up
              G6
So they could cut her down
         C
I didn't bring her here
              C2
So they could shut her out
          G
I live my whole damn life
            G6
To see that little girl smile
           C                             C2
So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
                          G
She wasn't brought up that way

G
Emily's home late again
                       G6
He sees that boy drive away
        G
Oh, but something's different this time
                     G6
She doesn't have too much to say
            C                                         C2
She said he tried, but there just some things I won't do
                C                                    G
And through the tears she said I couldn't do that to you
       D -once
And he said,

 G
I didn't bring you up
            G6
So he could wear you down
          C
Take that innocent heart
            C2
And turn it inside out
          G
I live my whole damn life
          G6
To see my little girl smile
         C                     G
So don't let nobody take that away
                            G6
You weren't brought up that way

(G G6 C C2 C G D)

G
The phone rings on a rainy night
                  Cadd9
Says it's Officer Tate
         G
He said, Sir there's been an accident
                     Cadd9
You better come down here right away
  C                             C2
A drunken driver missed an over-pass
    C                   G             D
And Emily, she's fading fast, he says God

         G
I didn't bring her up
              G6
To watch them lay her Down
       C                              C2
Nearly killed me the day they put her mama in the ground
           G                      G6
Only thing kept me alive was that little girl's smile
   C                       G
So please don't take that away
            C               G
It won't be easy taking her today
                          G6
She wasn't brought up that way

G
He stands over the hospital bed
                C
Emily opens her eyes
