Nothing New - Taylor Swift
Nothing New - Taylor Swift
Phoebe Bridgers)
[Verse 1]
C Am
They tell you while you’re young, girls, go out and have your fun
Em F Gsus4 G
Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it
C Am
Criticize the way you fly, when you’re soaring through the sky
Em
Shoot you down and then they sigh
F Gsus4 G
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
Lord what will become of me, once I’ve lost my novelty
[Chorus]
F G C
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
Em/B Am
And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about
F G C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
Em/B Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F G
How can a person know everything at 18
C Em/B Am
But nothing at 22?
F G |C|C|
And will you still want me, when I’m nothing new?
[Verse 2]
C Am
How long will it be cute, all this crying in my room
Em F Gsus4 G
When you can’t blame it on my youth, and roll your eyes with affection
C Am
And my cheeks are growing tired, from turning red and faking smiles
Em F Gsus4 G
Are we only biding time 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
Em/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
Em/B Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F G
How can a person know everything at 18
C Em/B Am
But nothing at 22?
F G |C|C|
And will you still want me, when I’m nothing new?
[Bridge] (C)
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
I know someday I’m gonna meet her it’s a fever dream
G Fmaj7
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
G Fmaj7
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
G C
I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep
[Interlude]
Am Em F
Oooh Oooh Oooh
C Am Em F
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
[Chorus]
F G C
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
Am
But I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out
F G C
I wake up in the middle of the night
Am (pick back up)
And I can feel time moving
F G
How can a person know everything at 18
C Em/B Am
But nothing at 22?
F G C Em/B Am
And will you still want me, will you still want me
F G
Will you still want me, when I’m nothing new?
