Taylor Swift – Cruel Summer   (Album: Lover  (2019))

!!! Capo: 2nd fret !!!      

Intro: G  (measure)

C,    D,    Bm,    Em
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night / 

You know that I caught it  (you’re right, I want it)

Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price / 

You know that I bought it  (you’re right, I want it)

Killing me slow, out the window / 

I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below
[C] Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
[D] What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more

G,   Bm,   Em,   C
& it’s new, the shape of your body/  It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
& it’s ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh/  It’s a cruel summer
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em/  No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh-ooh ooh whoa-oh/  It’s a cruel summer, with you

Break: G  (measure)

C,    D,    Bm,    Em
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine / 

I’m not dying  (you’re right, I want it)

We say that we’ll just screw it up in these trying times / 

We’re not trying  (you’re right, I want it)

So cut the headlights, summer’s a knife / 

I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
[C] Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
[D] What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

G,   Bm,   Em,   C
I’m drunk in the back of the car, & I cried like a baby coming home from the bar

Said “I’m fine”, but it wasn’t true, I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you
& I snuck in through the garden gate ,  Every night that summer just to seal my fate
& I scream “For whatever it’s worth, I love you,

                        ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?”

He looks up, grinning like a devil

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
