My Tears Ricochet - Midnight Rain chords by Taylor Swift

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

Verse 1:

Am           G
  We gather here, we line up
 Em                      F
Weeping in a sunlit room
    Am           G     Em                      F
And   if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too
 Am                  G
Even on my worst day
did I deserve babe
Em                   F
   All the hell you gave me
Am
  'Cause I loved you
G                   Em                  F
  I swear I loved you   'til my dying day

Chorus:

C    Dm           Am          F                C      Dm
        I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
                Am          F       C         Dm
And you're the hero flying around saving face
            Am               F                  C
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
            Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
            F
Look at how my tears ricochet


Verse 2:

F
 It came like a postcard
C
Picture perfect shiny family

Holiday peppermint candy
G                           Am
 But for him, it's every day
F
 So I peered through a window
  C
A deep portal, time travel
                       G
All the love we unravel
                        Am
And the life I gave away
                                       F
'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight rain


Chorus:
                                        C
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
                                   G
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
                                 Am
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same

All of me changed like midnight
F
Rain
                                        C
He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain
                                   G
He wanted a bride, I was making my own name
                                 Am
Chasing that fame, he stayed the same

All of me changed like midnight


Bridge:

F
I guess sometimes we all get
             C
Just what we wanted, just what we wanted
       G
And he never thinks of me
           Am
Except for when I'm on TV
F
I guess sometimes we all get
             C
Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted
      G
And I never think of him
          Am
Except on midnights like this
                                         C   G   Am
(Midnights like this, midnights like this)


Chorus:

Dm           Am          F                C     Dm
   I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
            Am                F         C          Dm
And so the battleships will sink beneath  the waves
            Am              F                   C
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
              Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
                      F
You turned into your worst fears
C                          Dm                   Am
  And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain,
                  F
Crossing out the good years
           C              Dm               Am
And you're   cursing my name, wishing I stayed
            F
Look at how my tears ricochet


Outro:

C  Dm  Am  F  x3
