Taylor Swift - my tears ricochet

[intro]
C  G  Em  F  Am  G
Em  F  Am  G  Em  F

[verse 1]
Am           G
  We gather here, we line up
 Em                      F
Weeping in a sunlit room
    Am           G
And   if I'm on fire,
 Em                      F
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
        I didn't have it in
  F                C      Dm
myself to go with grace
                Am
And you're the hero flying
 F       C         Dm
around saving face
            Am
And if I'm dead to you,
     F                  C
why are you at the wake
            Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
            F
Look at how my tears ricochet

[instrumental]
C  Dm  Am  F

[verse 2]
Am           G
  We gather stones,
 Em                            F
never knowing what they'll mean
Am         G
  Some to throw,
 Em                        F
some to make a diamond ring
       Am                   G
You know I didn't want to   have to haunt you
Em                        F
  But what a ghostly scene
Am                        G
  You wear the same jewels
               Em             F
that I gave you  as you bury me

[chorus]
C    Dm           Am
        I didn't have it
     F                C     Dm
in myself to go with grace
                 Am
'Cause when I'd fight,
             F       C           Dm
you used to tell me I   was brave
            Am
And if I'm dead to you,
     F                  C
why are you at the wake
            Dm               Am
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
            F
Look at how my tears ricochet

[bridge]
C              Dm             Am
  And I can go anywhere I want
         F                 C
Anywhere I want, just not home
                 Dm                       Am
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
                     F               C
But you would still miss me in your bones
           Dm            Am
And I still  talk to you
           F                 C
(When I'm screaming at the sky)
                  Dm              Am
And when you can't sleep at night
              F
(You hear my stolen lullabies)

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