CAPO: 1
[Intro]
Meet me at midnight
[Verse 1]
Staring at the ceiling with you
Oh you don't ever say too much
And you don't really read into
My melancholia
[Pre-Chorus]
I been under scrutiny (Yeah oh yeah)
You handle it beautifully (Yeah oh yeah)
All this shit is new to me (Yeah oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal
I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal
The 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
[Verse 2]
All they keep asking me (All they keep asking me)
Is if I'm gonna be your bride
The only kinda girl they see (Only kinda girl they see)
Is a one-night or a wife
[Pre-Chorus]
I find it dizzying (Yeah oh yeah)
They're bringing up my history (Yeah oh yeah)
But you weren't even listening (Yeah oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I feel the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal
I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal
The 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
[Post-Chorus]
That lavender haze
[Bridge]
Talk your talk and go viral
I just need this love spiral
Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk (Get it off my desk)
Talk your talk and go viral
I just need this love spiral
N.C.
Get it off your chest
N.C.
Get it off my desk
[Chorus]
I feel (I feel) the lavender haze creeping up on me
Surreal
I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say
No deal (No deal)
The 1950s shit they want from me
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze
[Outro]
Get it off your chest
Get it off my desk
That lavender haze
I just wanna stay
I just wanna stay in that lavender haze

NO CAPO
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When the morning came
We were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf
'Cause we lost track of time again
Laughing with my feet in your lap
Like you were my closest friend
"How'd we end up on the floor anyway?" you say
"Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé that's how"
I see you every day now
[Chorus]
And I chose you
The one I was dancing with
In New York no shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was
The burgundy on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet it was
The mark thеy saw on my collarbone
The rust that grew bеtween telephones
The lips I used to call home
So scarlet it was maroon
[Verse 2]
When the silence came
We were shaking blind and hazy
How the hell did we lose sight of us again?
Sobbing with your head in your hands
Ain't that the way shit always ends?
You were standing hollow-eyed in the hallway
Carnations you had thought were roses that's us
I feel you no matter what
The rubies that I gave up
[Chorus]
And I lost you
The one I was dancing with
In New York no shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was (Maroon)
The burgundy on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet it was (Maroon)
The mark they saw on my collarbone
The rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home
So scarlet it was maroon
[Bridge]
And I wake with your memory over me
That's a real fucking legacy legacy (It was maroon)
And I wake with your memory over me
That's a real fucking legacy to leave
[Chorus]
The burgundy on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet it was maroon
The mark they saw on my collarbone
The rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home
So scarlet it was maroon
[Outro]
It was maroon
N.C.
It was maroon

Track 03 - Anti-Hero
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 2
[Verse 1]
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift all of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-Chorus]
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me
At teatime everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart but never killed
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me (I'm the problem it's me)
At teatime everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero=
[Bridge]
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it
And then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from hell"
[Breakdown]
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me
It's me hi
I'm the problem it's me
It's me hi
Everybody agrees everybody agrees
[Chorus]
It's me hi (Hi)
I'm the problem it's me (I'm the problem it's me)
At teatime (Teatime) everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Track 04 - Snow on the Beach (featuring Lana Del Rey)
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Lana Del Rey Jack Antonoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 2
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
One night a few moons ago
I saw flecks of what could've been lights
But it might just have been you
Passing by unbeknownst to me
Life is emotionally abusive
And time can't stop me quite like you did
And my flight was awful thanks for asking
I'm unglued thanks to you
[Chorus]
And it's like snow at the beach
Weird but fucking beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it's coming down
No sound it's all around
[Post-Chorus]
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow ah
[Verse 2]
This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
I searched "aurora borealis green"
I've never seen someone lit from within
Blurring out my periphery
My smile is like I won a contest
And to hide that would be so dishonest
And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it
'Til you do 'til it's true
[Chorus]
Now it's like snow at the beach
Weird but fucking beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it's coming down
No sound it's all around
[Post-Chorus]
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow ah
[Bridge]
I can't speak afraid to jinx it
I don't even dare to wish it
But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet
Now I'm all for you like Janet
N.C.
Can this be a real thing? Can it?
[Chorus]
Are we falling like snow at the beach? (Snow at the beach)
Weird but fucking beautiful
Flying in a dream (Flying in a dream)
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me (You wanting me)
Tonight feels impossible
But it's coming down
No sound it's all around
[Post-Chorus]
Like snow on the beach (Snow on the beach)
Like snow on the beach (Flying in a dream)
Like snow on the beach (You wanting me)
Like snow ah
But it's coming down
No sound it's all around
[Outro]
Like snow on the beach
(It's coming down it's coming down)
(It's coming down it's coming down)
Like snow on the beach
(It's coming down it's coming down)
(It's coming down it's coming down)
(It's coming down it's coming down)
(It's coming down it's coming down)
(It's coming down it's coming down)
(It's coming down it's coming down)

Track 05 - You're on Your Own Kid
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
[Verse 1]
Summer went away still the yearning stays
I play it cool with the best of them
I wait patiently he's gonna notice me
It's okay we're the best of friends
Anyway
I hear it in your voice you're smoking with your boys
I touch my phone as if it's your face
I didn't choose this town I dream of getting out
There's just one who could make me stay
All my days
[Pre-Chorus]
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I waited ages to see you there
I search the party of better bodies
Just to learn that you never cared
[Chorus]
You're on your own kid
You always have been
[Verse 2]
I see the great escape so long Daisy Mae
I picked the petals he loves me not
Something different bloomed writing in my room
I play my songs in the parking lot
I'll run away
[Pre-Chorus]
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I called a taxi to take me there
I search the party of better bodies
Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare
[Chorus]
You're on your own kid
You always have been
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
I gave my blood sweat and tears for this
I hosted parties and starved my body
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
The jokes weren't funny I took the money
My friends from home don't know what to say
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
And I saw something they can't take away
'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take
So make the friendship bracelets take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid
[Chorus]
You're on your own kid
Yeah you can face this
You're on your own kid
You always have been

NO CAPO
[Intro]
N.C.
Rain
He wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride I was making my own name
Chasing that fame he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
[Verse 1]
My town was a wasteland
Full of cages full of fences
Pageant queens and big pretenders
But for some it was paradise
My boy was a montage
A slow-motion love potion
Jumping off things in the ocean
I broke his heart 'cause he was nice
He was sunshine I was midnight rain
[Chorus]
N.C. C
He wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride I was making my own name
Chasing that fame he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
[Verse 2]
It came like a postcard
Picture perfect shiny family
Holiday peppermint candy
But for him it's every day
So I peered through a window
A deep portal time travel
All the love we unravel
And the life I gave away
'Cause he was sunshine I was midnight rain
[Chorus]
He wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride I was making my own name
Chasing that fame he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight rain
He wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride I was making my own name
Chasing that fame he stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
[Outro]
I guess sometimes we all get
Just what we wanted just what we wanted
And he never thinks of me
Except for when I'm on TV
I guess sometimes we all get
Some kind of haunted some kind of haunted
And I never think of him
Except on midnights like this
(Midnights like this midnights like this)

NO CAPO
[Intro]
N.C.
I remember
[Verse 1]
Good girl sad boy
Big city wrong choices
We had one thing goin' on
I swear that it was somethin'
'Cause I don't remember who I was
Before you painted all my nights
A color I've searched for since
But one thing after another
Fuckin' situations circumstances
Miscommunications and I
Have to say by the way
I just may like some explanations
[Chorus]
Can I ask you a question?
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room
And every single one of your friends was makin' fun of you
But fifteen seconds later thеy were clappin' too?
Then what did you do?
Did you lеave her house in the middle of the night? Oh
Did you wish you'd put up more of a fight oh
When she said it was too much?
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It's just a question
[Verse 2]
Half-moon eyes bad surprise
Did you realize out of time?
She was on your mind with some dickhead guy
That you saw that night
But you were on somethin'
It was one drink after another
Fuckin' politics and gender roles
And you're not sure and I don't know
Got swept away in the grey
I just may like to have a conversation
[Chorus]
Can I ask you a question?
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room
And every single one of your friends was makin' fun of you
But fifteen seconds later thеy were clappin' too?
Then what did you do?
Did you lеave her house in the middle of the night? Oh
Did you wish you'd put up more of a fight oh
When she said it was too much?
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It's just a question
[Bridge]
Does it feel like everything's just like
Second best after that meteor strike?
And what's that that I heard? That you're still with her?
That's nice I'm sure that's what's suitable
And right but tonight
[Chorus]
Can I ask you a question? (Can I ask you a question?)
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room (In a crowded room)
And every single one of your friends was makin' fun of you (Makin' fun of you)
But fifteen seconds later they were clappin' too?
Then what did you do? (Do)
Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? Oh
Did you wish you' put up more of fight oh (More of fight)
When she said it was too much?
Do you wish you could still touch her?
N.C.
It's just a question

Writer/s: Taylor Swift
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
[Verse 1]
Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man
You did some bad things but I'm the worst of them
Sometimes I wonder which one'll be your last lie
They say looks can kill and I might try
I don't dress for women
I don't dress for men
Lately I've been dressin' for revenge
[Chorus]
I don't start shit but I can tell you how it ends
Don't get sad get even
So on the weekends
I don't dress for friends
N.C.
Lately I've been dressin' for revenge
[Verse 2]
She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some
She had the envelope where you think she got it from?
Now she gets the house gets the kids gets the pride
Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife
And she looks so pretty
Drivin' in your Benz
Lately she's been dressin' for revenge
[Chorus]
She don't start shit but she can tell you how it ends
Don't get sad get even
So on the weekends
She don't dress for friends
N.C.
Lately she's been dressing for revenge
[Bridge]
N.C.
Ladies always rise above
N.C.
Ladies know what people want
N.C.
Someone sweet and kind and fun
N.C.
The lady simply had enough
[Verse 3]
While he was doin' lines and crossin' all of mine
Someone told his white-collar crimes to the FBI
And I don't dress for villains
Or for innocents
I'm on my vigilante shit again
[Chorus]
I don't start shit but I can tell you how it ends
Don't get sad get even
So on the weekends
I don't dress for friends
N.C.
Lately I've been dressin' for revenge

NO CAPO
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Baby love I think I've been a little too kind
Didn't notice you walkin' all over my peace of mind
In the shoes I gave you as a present
Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five
And by the way I'm goin' out tonight
[Chorus]
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask "Do you have a man?"
I could still say "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put mе in the basement
Whеn I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real I polish up real nice
[Post-Chorus]
Nice
[Verse 2]
Baby boy I think I've been too good of a girl (Too good of a girl)
Did all the extra credit then got graded on a curve
I think it's time to teach some lessons
I made you my world (Huh) have you heard? (Huh)
I can reclaim the land
And I miss you (Miss you)
But I miss sparklin' (Nice)
[Chorus]
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask "Do you have a man?"
I could still say "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put mе in the basement
Whеn I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real I polish up real nice
[Post-Chorus]
Nice
[Bridge]
Sapphire tears on my face
Sadness became my whole sky
But some guy said my aura's moonstone
Just 'cause he was high
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do?
A diamond's gotta shine
[Chorus]
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer (Shimmer)
And when I meet the band
They ask "Do you have a man?"
I could still say "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put mе in the basement
Whеn I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real (Nice) I polish up real nice
[Outro]
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?
I polish up nice
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer

[Verse 1]
"It only hurts this much right now"
Was what I was thinkin' the whole time
Breathe in breathe through breathe deep breathe out
I'll be gettin' over you my whole life
[Pre-Chorus]
You know how scared I am of elevators
Never trust it if it rises fast
It can't last
[Chorus]
Uh-oh I'm fallin' in love
Oh no I'm fallin' in love again
Oh I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
[Verse 2]
It only feels this raw right now
Lost in the labyrinth of my mind
Break up break free break through break down
You would break your back to make me break a smile
[Pre-Chorus]
You know how much I hate
That everybody just expects me to bounce back
Just like that
[Chorus]
Uh-oh I'm fallin' in love
Oh no I'm fallin' in love again
Oh I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
Uh-oh I'm fallin' in love
Oh no I'm fallin' in love again
Oh I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
Uh-oh I'm fallin' in love
Oh no I'm fallin' in love again
Oh I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
Uh-oh I'm fallin' in love
Oh no I'm fallin' in love again
Oh I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You're talking shit for the hell of it
Addicted to betrayal but you're relevant
You're terrified to look down
'Cause if you dare you'll see the glare
Of everyone you burned just to get there
It's coming back around
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep my side of the street clean
You wouldn't know what I mean
[Chorus]
'Cause karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that
[Verse 2]
Spiderboy king of thieves
Weave your little webs of opacity
My pennies made your crown
Trick me once trick me twice
Don't you know that cash ain't the only price?
It's coming back around
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep my side of the street clean
You wouldn't know what I mean
[Chorus]
'Cause karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that
[Bridge]
Ask me what I learned from all those years
Ask me what I earned from all those tears
Ask me why so many fade when I'm still here
(I'm still here I'm still here)
[Breakdown]
'Cause karma is the thunder
Rattling your ground
Karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter
Karma's gonna track you down
Step by step from town to town
Sweet like justice karma is a queen
Karma takes all my friends to the summit
Karma is the guy on the screen
Coming straight home to me
[Chorus]
'Cause karma is my boyfriend (Karma is my boyfriend)
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend (Weekend)
Karma's a relaxing thought
Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Sweet like honey karma is a cat
Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that

NO CAPO
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I spy with my little tired eye
Tiny as a firefly
A pebble that we picked up last July
Down deep inside your pocket
We almost forgot it
Does it ever miss Wicklow sometimes?
Ooh ooh
[Chorus]
They said the end is comin'
Everyone’s up to somethin'
I find myself runnin' home to your sweet nothings
Outside they’re push and shovin'
You're in the kitchen hummin'
All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothin'
[Verse 2]
On the way home
I wrote a poem
You say "What a mind"
This happens all the time
Ooh ooh
[Chorus]
They said the end is comin'
Everyone’s up to somethin'
I find myself runnin' home to your sweet nothings
Outside they’re push and shovin'
You're in the kitchen hummin'
All that you ever wanted from me was nothin'
[Bridge]
Industry disruptors and soul deconstructors
And smooth-talking hucksters out glad-handing each other
And the voices that implore "You should be doing more"
To you I can admit that I’m just too soft for all of it
Ooh
[Chorus]
They said the end is comin'
Everyone's up to somethin'
I find myself runnin' home to your sweet nothings
Outside they're push and shovin'
You're in the kitchen hummin'
All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothin'
They said the end is comin' (They said the end is comin')
Everyone's up to somethin' (Everyone's up to somethin')
I find myself runnin' home to your sweet nothings
Outside they're push and shovin' (Outside they're push and shovin')
You're in the kitchen hummin' (You're in the kitchen hummin')
All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothin'

CAPO: 2
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time the planets and the fates
And all the stars aligned
You and I ended up in the same room
At the same time
[Pre-Chorus]
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
Of a chain reaction of countermoves
To assess the equation of you
Checkmate I couldn't lose
[Chorus]
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
And the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork and then
Just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by dеsign
'Cause I'm a mastermind
[Verse 2]
You see all the wisеst women
Had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn
In every lover's game
[Pre-Chorus]
If you fail to plan you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
[Chorus]
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
And the first night that you saw me
I knew I wanted your body
I laid the groundwork and then
Just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by dеsign
'Cause I'm a mastermind
[Bridge]
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
And I swear
I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian
'Cause I care
[Chorus]
So I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me
Nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork and then
Saw a wide smirk on your face
You knew the entire time
You knew that I'm a mastermind
And now you're mine
Yeah all you did was smile
'Cause I'm a mastermind

Track 14 - The Great War
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Aaron Dessner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 3
[Verse 1]
My knuckles were bruised like violets
Sucker punching walls cursed you as I sleep-talked
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Tore your banners down took the battle underground
And maybe it was egos swinging
Maybe it was her
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[Chorus]
All that bloodshed crimson clover
Uh-huh sweet dream was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh tears on the lеtter
I vowed not to cry anymore
If wе survived the Great War
[Verse 2]
You drew up some good faith treaties
I drew curtains closed drank my poison all alone
You said I have to trust more freely
But diesel is desire you were playing with fire
And maybe it's the past that's talking
Screaming from the crypt
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
So I justified it
[Chorus]
All that bloodshed crimson clover
Uh-huh sweet dream was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh tears on the lеtter
I vowed not to cry anymore
If wе survived the Great War
[Post-Chorus]
Uh-huh uh-huh
[Bridge]
It turned into something bigger
Somewhere in the haze got a sense I'd been betrayed
Your finger on my hairpin triggers
Soldier down on that icy ground
Looked up at me with honor and truth
Broken and blue so I called off the troops
That was the night I nearly lost you
I really thought I'd lost you
[Verse 3]
We can plant a memory garden
Say a solemn prayer place a poppy in my hair
There's no morning glory it was war it wasn't fair
And we will never go back
[Chorus]
To that bloodshed crimson clover
Uh-huh the worst was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uh-huh we're burned for better
I vowed I would always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War
[Outro]
Uh-huh uh-huh
I will always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War
Uh-huh
I vow I will always be yours

Track 15 - Bigger Than the Whole Sky
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 4
[Verse 1]
No words appear before me in the aftermath
Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears
Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness
'Cause it's all over now all out to sea
[Chorus]
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I've got a lot to pine about
I've got a lot to live without
I'm never gonna meet
What could've been would've been
What should've been you
What could've been would've been you
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Did some bird flap its wings ovеr in Asia?
Did some force take you bеcause I didn't pray?
Every single thing to come has turned into ashes
'Cause it's all over it's not meant to be
So I'll say words I don't believe
[Chorus]
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I've got a lot to pine about
I've got a lot to live without
I'm never gonna meet
What could've been would've been
What should've been you
[Bridge]
What could've been would've been you
What could've been would've been
What should've been you
What could've been would've been you
(What could've been would've been you)
[Chorus]
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I've got a lot to pine about
I've got a lot to live without
I'm never gonna meet
What could've been would've been
N.C.
What should've been you

Track 16 - Paris
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
"Your ex-friend's sister
Met someone at a club and he kissed her
Turns out it was that guy you hooked up with ages ago
Some wannabe Z-lister
And all the outfits were terrible
2003 unbearable
Did you see the photos?"
No I didn't but thanks though
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so in love that I might stop breathing
Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling
No I didn't see the news
'Cause we were somewhere else
Stumbled down pretend alleyways
Cheap wine make believe it's champagne
I was taken by the view
[Chorus]
Like we were in Paris
Like we were somewhere else
Like we were in Paris oh
We were somewhere else
[Verse 2]
Privacy sign on the door
And on my page and on the whole world
Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours
Levitate above all the messes made
Sip quiet by my side in the shade
And not the kind that's thrown
I mean the kind under where a tree has grown
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so in love that I might stop breathing
Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling
No I didn't see the news
'Cause we were somewhere else
Stumbled down pretend alleyways
Cheap wine make believe it's champagne
I was taken by the view
[Chorus]
Like we were in Paris oh
Like we were somewhere else
Like we were in Paris oh
We were somewhere else
[Bridge]
I wanna brainwash you
Into loving me forever
I wanna transport you
To somewhere the culture's clever
Confess my truth
In swooping sloping cursive letters
Let the only flashing lights be the tower at midnight
In my mind
[Breakdown]
We drew a map on your bedroom ceiling
No I didn't see the news
'Cause we were somewhere else
In an alleyway drinking champagne
[Chorus]
'Cause we were in Paris
Yes we were somewhere else
My love we were in Paris
Yes we were somewhere else
[Outro]

Writer/s: Taylor Swift Aaron Dessner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 3
[Verse 1]
Lock broken slur spoken
Wound open game token
I didn't know you were keeping count
Rain soaking blind hoping
You said I was freeloading
I didn't know you were keeping count
[Chorus]
High infidelity
Put on your records and regret me
I bent the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around dancing around it
High infidelity
Put on your headphones and burn my city
Your picket fence is sharp as knives
I was dancing around dancing around it
[Refrain]
Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?
Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?
[Verse 2]
Storm coming good husband
Bad omen
Dragged my feet right down the aisle
At the house lonely good money
I'd pay if you'd just know me
Seemed like the right thing at the time
[Refrain]
You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love
The slowest way is never loving them enough
Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?
Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?
[Chorus]
High infidelity
Put on your records and regret me
I bent the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around dancing around it
High infidelity
Put on your headphones and burn my city
Your picket fence is sharp as knives
I was dancing around dancing around it
[Refrain]
Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th?
Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?
You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love
The slowest way is never loving them enough
[Chorus]
High infidelity
Put on your records and regret me
I bent the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around dancing around it
High infidelity
Put on your headphones and burn my city
Your picket fence is sharp as knives
I was dancing around dancing around it
[Non-Lyrical Break]
[Post-Chorus]
Oh there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love
And it's never enough it's never enough
[Outro]
Lock broken slur spoken
Wound open game token
I didn't know you were keeping count
Rain soaking blind hoping
You said I was freeloading
I didn't know you were keeping count
But oh you were keeping count

Track 18 - Glitch
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff Mark Spears Sam Dew
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 2
[Verse 1]
We were supposed to be just friends
You don't live in my part of town but maybe I'll see you out some weekend
Depending on what kind of mood and situationship I'm in
And what's in my system
[Chorus]
I think there's been a glitch oh yeah
Five seconds later I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch oh yeah
And I'm not even sorry nights are so starry
Blood moonlit
It must be counterfeit
I think there's been a glitch oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I was supposed to sweat you out
In search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else's playground
But it's been two-thousand one-hundred ninety days of our love blackout
(Our love is blacking out)
The system's breaking down
(The system's breaking down)
[Chorus]
I think there's been a glitch oh yeah
Five seconds later I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch oh yeah
And I'm not even sorry nights are so starry
Blood moonlit
It must be counterfeit
I think there's been a glitch
[Bridge]
A brief interruption a slight malfunction
I'd go back to wanting dudes who give nothing
I thought we had no chance
Em N.C.
And that's romance let's dance
[Chorus]
Glitch oh yeah
Five seconds later I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch oh yeah
And I'm not even sorry nights are so starry
Blood moonlit
It must be counterfeit (It must be counterfeit)
I think there's been a glitch

Track 19 - Would've Could've Should've
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Aaron Dessner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
If you would've blinked then I would've
Looked away at the first glance
If you tasted poison you could've
Spit me out at the first chance
And if I was some paint did it splatter
On a promising grown man?
And if I was a child did it matter
If you got to wash your hands?
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh all I used to do was pray
Would've could've should've
If you'd never looked my way
[Chorus]
I would've stayed on my knees
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I'm grown I'm scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know I wish you'd left me wondering
[Verse 2]
If you never touched me I would've
Gone along with the righteous
If I never blushed then they could've
Never whispered about this
And if you never saved me from boredom
I could've gone on as I was
But Lord you made me feel important
And then you tried to erase us
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh you're a crisis of my faith
Would've could've should've
If I'd only played it safe
[Chorus]
I would've stayed on my knees
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I'm grown I'm scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know I wish you'd left me wondering
[Bridge]
God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won't close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can't let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won't close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time
[Verse 3]
If clarity's in death then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood it was mine first
[Chorus]
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I'm grown I'm scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know I wish you'd left me wondering
[Outro]
God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won't close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can't let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won't close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time
Oh God rest my soul
I miss who I used to be
The tomb won't close
Stained glass windows in my mind
I regret you all the time
I can't let this go
I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won't close
I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time

Track 20 - Dear Reader
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Dear reader if it feels like a trap
You're already in one
Dear reader get out your map
Pick somewhere and just run
Dear reader burn all the files
Desert all your past lives
And if you don't recognize yourself
That means you did it right
[Chorus]
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart (You should find another)
[Verse 2]
Dear reader bend when you can
Snap when you have to
Dear reader you don't have to answer
Just 'cause they asked you
(You should find another)
Dear reader the greatest of luxuries is your secrets
Dear reader when you aim at the devil
Make sure you don't miss
[Chorus]
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart
[Bridge]
So I wander through these nights
I prefer hiding in plain sight
My fourth drink in my hand
These desperate prayers of a cursed man
Spilling out to you for free
But darling darling please
You wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking
If you knew where I was walking
To a house not a home all alone 'cause nobody's there
Where I pace in my pen and my friends found friends who care
No one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire
[Outro]
You should find another guiding light guiding light
But I shine so bright
You should find another guiding light guiding light
But I shine so bright
You should find another you should find another (Guiding light)
Find another you should find another
You should find another

Track 21 - Hits Different
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff Aaron Dessner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 3
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I washed my hands of us at the club
You made a mess of me
I pictured you with other girls in love
Then threw up on the street
Like waiting for a bus that never shows
You just start walkin' on
They say that if it's right you know
Each bar plays our song
Nothing has ever felt so wrong
[Chorus]
Oh my love is a lie
Shit my friends say to get me by
It hits different
It hits different this time
Catastrophic blues
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
It hits different
It hits different 'cause it's you
[Post-Chorus]
('Cause it's you)
[Verse 2]
I used to switch out these Kens I'd just ghost
Rip the band-aid off and skip town likе an asshole outlaw
Freedom felt like summеr then on the coast
Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings
And I never don't cry (And I never don't cry) at the bar
Yeah my sadness is contagious (My sadness is contagious)
I slur your name 'til someone puts me in a car
I stopped receiving invitations
[Chorus]
Oh my love is a lie
Shit my friends say to get me by
It hits different
It hits different this time
Catastrophic blues
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
It hits different
It hits different 'cause it's you
[Post-Chorus]
('Cause it's you)
[Bridge]
I find the artifacts cried over a hat
Cursed the space that I needed
I trace the evidence make it make some sense
Why the wound is still bleedin'
You were the one that I loved
Don't need another metaphor it's simple enough
A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes
This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief
In the good in the world you once believed in me
And I felt you and I held you for a while
Bet I could still melt your world
Argumentative antithetical dream girl
[Verse 3]
I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
Is that your key in the door?
Is it okay? Is it you?
Or have they come to take me away?
To take me away
[Chorus]
Oh my love is a lie
Shit my friends say to get me by
It hits different (It hits different)
It hits different this time
Catastrophic blues
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
It hits different (It hits different)
It hits different 'cause it's you
[Outro]
Oh my love is a lie
Shit my friends say to get me by
'Cause it's you
Catastrophic blues
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
It hits different (Yeah)
A N.C.
It hits different 'cause it's you

Track 22 - You're Losing Me (From the Vault)
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Jack Antonoff Aaron Dessner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO:
[Verse 1]
You say "I don't understand" and I say "I know you don't"
We thought a cure would come through in time now I fear it won't
Remember lookin' at this room we loved it 'cause of the light
Now I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?
I'm getting tired even for a phoenix
Always risin' from the ashes
Mendin' all her gashes
You might just have dealt the final blow
[Chorus]
Stop you're losin' me
Stop you're losin' me
Stop you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore for you
'Cause you're losin' me
[Verse 2]
Every mornin' I glared at you with storms in my eyes
How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?
I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick
My face was gray but you wouldn't admit that we were sick
[Pre-Chorus]
And the air is thick with loss and indecision
I know my pain is such an imposition
Now you're runnin' down the hallway
And you know what they all say
"You don't know what you got until it's gone"
[Chorus]
N.C.
Stop you're losin' me
N.C.
Stop you're losin' me
N.C.
Stop you're losin' me
N.C.
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore for you
'Cause you're losin' me
'Cause you're losin' me
Stop (Stop) 'cause you're losin' me
[Post-Chorus]
My heart won't start anymore
(Stop 'cause you're losin' me)
My heart won't start anymore
(Stop 'cause you're losin' me)
[Bridge]
How long could we be a sad song
'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?
I gave you all my best me's my endless empathy
And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier
Fighting in only your army frontlines don't you ignore me
I'm the best thing at this party (You're losin' me)
And I wouldn't marry me either
A pathological people pleaser
Who only wanted you to see her
And I'm fadin' thinkin'
"Do something babe say something" (Say something)
"Lose something babe risk something" (You're losin' me)
"Choose something babe I got nothing" (I got nothing)
"To believe unless you're choosin' me"
[Outro]
N.C.
You're losin' me
Stop (Stop stop) you're losin' me
Stop (Stop stop) you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
N.C
My heart won't start anymore

Track 23 - Snow on the Beach (featuring More Lana Del Rey)
Writer/s: Taylor Swift Lana Del Rey Jack Antonoff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 2
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
One night a few moons ago
I saw flecks of what could've been lights
But it might just have been you
Passing by unbeknownst to me
Life is emotionally abusive
And time can't stop me quite like you did
And my flight was awful thanks for asking
I'm unglued thanks to you
[Chorus]
And it's like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin' beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it's comin' down
No sound it's all around
[Post-Chorus]
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach
Like snow ah ah
[Verse 2]
This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
I searched "aurora borealis green"
I've never seen someone lit from within
Blurring out my periphery
My smile is like I won a contest
And to hide that would be so dishonest
And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it
'Til you do 'til it's true
[Chorus]
Now it's like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin' beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight feels impossible
But it's comin' down
No sound it's all around
[Post-Chorus]
Like snow on the beach (Mmm)
Like snow on the beach
Like snow on the beach (Mmm)
Like snow ah ah
[Bridge]
I (I) can't (Can't) speak afraid to jinx it
I (I) don't (Don't) even dare to wish it
But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet
Now I'm all for you like Janet
Can this be a real thing? Can it?
[Chorus]
Are we falling like snow at the beach? (Snow at the beach)
Weird but fuckin' beautiful
Flying in a dream (Flying in a dream)
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me (You wanting me)
Tonight feels impossible
But it's comin' down
No sound it's all around
[Post-Chorus]
Like snow on the beach (Snow on the beach; Mmm)
Like snow on the beach (Flying in a dream)
Like snow on the beach (You wanting me; Mmm)
Like snow ah
But it's comin' down
No sound it's all around
[Outro]
Like snow on the beach
Like snow like snow uh-huh yeah
