Recorded by Taylor Swift

(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
Drums x 2 Bars

(Verse 1)
(D)Drowning in the Blue Nile
(D) He sent me Downtown (G)Lights
(G) I hadn't heard it in a (D)while
My boredom was (D)bone deep
(D) This cage was once just (G)fine
(G) Am I allowed to cry?
(Bm) I dream of cracking locks
(Bm) Throwing my life to the (G)wolves
Or the ocean rocks (G) crashing into him to-(Bm)night
He's a paradox (Bm) I'm seeing visions
Am I (G)bad or mad or wise?

(Chorus)
What if he's (D)written "mine" on my upper (A)thigh
Only in my (G)mind?
One slip, I'm falling (D)back into the hedge maze
(A) Oh, what a way to (G)die
I keep recalling (G)things we never (A)did
Messy top lip (D)kiss
How I long for our (G)trysts
Without ever (G)touching his skin
How can (A)I be guilty as (D)sin

(Verse 2)
(Bm) I keep these longings (G)locked in lowercase inside a (Bm)vault
Someone told me (Bm) there's no such things as bad (G)thoughts
(G) Only your actions talk 
(Bm) These fatal fantasies, giving way too labored (G)breath
Taking all of me, (Bm)we've already done it in my head
(Bm) If it's make believe, why does it feel like a (G)vow
We'll both uphold (G)somehow?

(Chorus)
What if he's (D)written "mine" on my upper (A)thigh only in my (G)mind?
One slip, I'm falling (D)back into the hedge maze
(A) Oh, what a way to (G)die
(G) My bedsheets are ablaze, I screamed his (A)name
Building up back (D)waves crashing over my (G)grave
(G)Without ever touching his skin
How can (A)I be guilty as (D)sin

(Bridge)
What if (A)I roll the stone away?
(D) They're gonna crucify me anyway
(A) What if the way you hold me
(G) Is actually what's holy
Bm A If (Bm)long-suffering propiety (A) is what they want from me
(G) They don't (Bm)know how you've haunted me so stunningly
I (G)choose you and me, re-(A)ligously

(Chorus)
(NC)What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in my (G)mind?
(G) One slip, I'm falling (D)back into the hedge maze
(A) Oh, what a way to (G)die
I keep recalling things we never (A)did, messy top-lip (D)kiss
How I long for our (G)trysts, without ever touching his (G)skin
(A)How can I be guilty as (D)sin

(Outro.)
(A) He sent me downtown (G)lies
(G) I hadn't (A)heard it in a (D)while
