Taylor Swift - Nothing New ft Phoebe Bridgers

[verse 1]
                           C
They tell you while you’re young
                            Am
Girls, go out and have your fun
                            Em
Then they hunt and slay the ones
     F          G
Who actually do it
                      C
Criticize the way you fly
                                Am
When you’re soaring through the sky
                             Em
Shoot you down and then they sigh
              F                     G
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”

[pre-chorus]
                          F
Lord what will become of me
                   G
Once I’ve lost my novelty

[chorus]
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight
      G/B
And I know it’s sad but
Am
this is what I think about
     F       G                         C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
         G/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C      G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
             F
And will you still want me
G
When I’m nothing new?

[verse 2]
C
   How long will it be cute
                      Am
All this crying in my room
                              Em
When you can’t blame it on my youth
              F             G
And roll your eyes with affection
                          C
And my cheeks are growing tired
                            Am
From turning red and faking smiles
                   Em
Are we only biding time
       F              G
till I lose your attention?

[pre-chorus]
                                  F
And someone else lights up the room
                G
People love an ingénue

[chorus]
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight
     G/B                Am
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
     F       G                         C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
         G/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C      G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
             F
And will you still want me
G
When I’m nothing new?

 I know someday I’m gonna meet her
       G     F
It’s a fever dream

The kind of radiance you
             G    F
only have at seventeen

She’ll know the way and then
                       G        F
she’ll say she got the map from me

I’ll say I’m happy for her
                G       C
then I’ll cry myself to sleep

  Am   Em     F
Oooh  Oooh Oooh
 C    Am   Em    F
Oooh  Oooh Oooh Oooh

[chorus]
         G            C
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
      G                Am
But I wonder if they’ll miss me
                    F
once they drive me out
                   G                    C
I wake up (wake up) in the middle of the night
          G        Am
And I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C      G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
             F             G
And will you still want me
         C     G/B     Am
Will you still want me
          F
Will you still want me
G
  When I’m nothing new?
