Performance: The Eras Tour 2024

Key: C

Verse 1 - Suburban Legends:

C                         Am           F
You had people who called you unmarked numbers

In my peripheral vision
C                          Am                    F
I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer

All was quickly forgiven
C                 Am                    F
You were so magnetic, it was almost obnoxious

Flushed with the currency of cool
C                       Am          F
I was always turning out my empty pockets
    G
And when it came to you

Chorus:

C           Em
I didn't come here to make friends
        F            G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C               Em
When you hold me it holds me together
        F                                   G
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

C  Fsus2   4x

Verse 2 - New Year's Day:

C  Fsus2                                       C
   There's glitter on the floor after the party
Fsus2                                         C
  Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Fsus2                                      C
  Candle wax and polaroids on the hardwood floor
Fsus2
  You and me from the night before, but

Chorus:

C      Am7   Fsus2   C
  Don't read the last page
      Am7   Fsus2
But I stay when you're lost, and I'm scared, and you're turning away
C   Am7  Fsus2   C
  I want    your midnights
                       Am7                 Fsus2       C
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

Bridge:

C      Am7   Fsus2         G
Please don't ever become a stranger
      C     Am7     Fsus2     G
Whose laugh I could recongise anywhere
C      Am7   Fsus2         G
Please don't ever become a stranger
      C     Am7     Fsus2     G
Whose laugh I could recongise anywhere

Bridge - Suburban Legends:

C                     Am
The tick-tock on a clock
                 F
I pace down your block

I broke my own heart
                                 C
'Cause you were too polite to do it
                   Am
Waves crash to the shore
              F
I dash to the door
                                            C
You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined
                     Am
The tick-tock on the clock
                 F
I pace down your block

I broke my own heart
                                 C
'Cause you were too polite to do it
                   Am
Waves crash to the shore

I dash to the door
F                      G
You don't knock anymore
             C      Em
And I always knew it
F  G           C                Em F G
   That my life would be ruined

Chorus:

       C           Em
'Cause I didn't come here to make friends
        F            G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C               Em
When you hold me it holds me together
        F                                   G
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
C              Em
I know that you still remember
        F              G
We were born to be national treasures
         C               Em
When you hold me it holds me together
        F                                   G
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

Chorus - New Year's Day:

C      Am7   Fsus2         G
Please don't ever become a stranger
      C     Am7     Fsus2     G
Whose laugh I could recongise anywhere
C      Am7   Fsus2         G
Please don't ever become a stranger
      C     Am7     Fsus2     G
Whose laugh I could recongise anywhere
