Exile - The Bolter chords by Taylor Swift

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

Part 1:

C
 I can see you standing, honey
Am
 With his arms around your body
C                                          Am
 Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
C
 And it took you five whole minutes
Am
 To pack us up and leave me with it
C                                           Am
 Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

F             G                  Am
 I think I've seen this film before
      G
And I didn't like the ending
F              G              Am
 You're not my homeland anymore
   G                   F
So what am I defending now?
            G                Am                C
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
F             G                 Am
 I think I've seen this film before

Transition:

   C
Cause Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
        F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G
Then he'll call her a whore
                G
Wish he wouldn't be sore
               F
But as she was leaving
             F
It felt like breathing
G                Am
 All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G                  Am
 It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
                C
Then came out alive

C F C

Part 2:

N.C.                     G
He was a cad, wanted her bad
                          F
Just like any good trophy hunter
                         C
And she liked the way he tastes
                          G
Taming a bear, making him care
                                   F
Watching him jump then pulling him under
                            C
And at first blush, this is fate
                              G
When it's all roses, portrait poses
                          F
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
                       C
What a charming Saturday
                                  G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks

Down in the floorboards
        F
And she just knows
    F
She must bolt

Transition:

F             G                  Am
 I think I've seen this film before
      G
And I didn't like the ending
F             G             Am
 I'm not your problem anymore
    G                  F
 So who am I offending now?
             G                Am                C     F
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
              G                 Am
I think I've seen this film before
        G                    C
So I'm leaving out the side door
            C
And it felt like breathing

Ooh
   C
It felt like
        C
It felt like breathing
G                Am
 All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G                  Am
 It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
                C
Then came out alive

Part 3:

G
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
               C
First, they're off to the races
          C
And she's laughing drawin' aces
     G
But, none of it is changin'
         Am
That the chariot is waitin'
           C
Hearts are hers for the breakin'
           C
There's an escape in escaping

Final:

C
Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
        F
Out the exile one evenin'
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                       G
But she's got the best stories
           G
You can be sure
                F
That as she was leaving
        F
It felt like freedom
G                Am
 All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
            G
And she realized
                  Am
It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the exile
          F
Then came out alive
