Mirrorball - The Lakes chords by Taylor Swift

• Difficulty: Beginner

Intro:

D    Gmaj7
I want you to know
      Bm
I'm a mirrorball
              Gmaj7                        D
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
                  Gmaj7
I'll get you out on the floor
           Bm
Shimmering beautiful
           Gmaj7
And when I break, it's in a million pieces

Verse 1:
D                                 G
 Hush, when no one is around, my dear
                      Bm
You'll find me on my tallest tip-toes
                 G
Spinning in my highest heels, love
                     D
Shining just for you
D                                       G
 Hush, I know they said the end is near
                     Bm
But I'm still on my tallest tip-toes
                G
Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you


Verse 2:
D         F#m            Em         Bm
  Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
D             F#m               Em
  I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
      Bm
These hunters with cell phones

Pre-Chorus 3:
F#m                                  G
  Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
          Bm                               A
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
F#m                               G
  Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
            A
I'm setting off, but not without my muse

Verse 4:
D                F#m           Em
  What should be over burrowed under my skin
   Bm
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
D               F#m               Em
  I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
        Bm
Tell me what are my words worth, because
D                       G
 You are not like the regulars
                Bm
The masquerade revelers
               G
Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten

Pre-Chorus 1:
F#m                                  G
  Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
          Bm                               A
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
F#m                               G
  Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
            A
I'm setting off, but not without my muse

Chorus:
D
 And they called off the circus, burned the disco down
G
 When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns
Bm
 I'm still on that tightrope
                 G
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me and
Bm
I want you right here
D              F#m          Em
  A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
     Bm
With no one around to tweet it
D                  F#m
  While I bathe in cliffside pools
          Em                     Bm
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
D
 I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
G                                             Bm
 I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
Bm
 I'm still on that trapeze
                  G
I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me

Outro:
F#m                                  D
Take me to the Lakes, because I'm a mirrorball

Take me to the lakes
F#m
I'm a mirrorball
D                                   Bm
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
                D
No, not without you
