My Tears Ricochet - Taylor Swift
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
Here are the chords to 'My Tears Ricochet' by Taylor Swift
from her album 'Folklore'! It's one of her Track 5s which are famously
known for being deep and emotionally vulnerable.
This song isn't too hard to play but there is some syncopation during the last
two lines of the bridge which may throw off some beginners.
Just listen and practise with the actual track and you'll get the hang of it.
Have fun playing :)
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
We gather he
re, we line up
Weeping in a s
unlit room
And if I'm o
n fire, you'll
be made of as
hes too
Even on my wor
st day, did I
deserve babe
All the hel
l you gave me
'Cause I lov
ed you
I swear I lo
ved you 'til
my dying day
[Chorus]
I didn
't have it in
myself to go w
ith grace
And you're the
hero flying a
round saving f
ace
And if I'm dea
d to you, why
are you at the
wake
Cursing my nam
e, wishing I s
tayed
Look at how my
tears ricoche
t
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
We gather st
ones, never kn
owing what the
y'll mean
Some to thro
w, some to mak
e a diamond ri
ng
You know I d
idn't want to
have to haun
t you
But what a g
hostly scene
You wear the
same jewels
that I gave yo
u as you bury
me
[Chorus]
I didn
't have it in
myself to go w
ith grace
'Cause when I'
d fight, you u
sed to tell me
I was brave
And if I'm dea
d to you, why
are you at the
wake
Cursing my nam
e, wishing I s
tayed
Look at how my
tears ricoche
t
[Bridge]
And I can go
anywhere I wa
nt
Anywhere I wan
t, just not ho
me
And you can ai
m for my heart
, go for blood
But you would
still miss me
in your bones
And I still t
alk to you
(When I'm scre
aming at the s
ky)
And when you c
an't sleep at
night (You he
ar my stolen l
ullabies)
[Final Chorus]
I didn't have
it in myself t
o go with grac
e
And so the bat
tleships will
sink beneath
the waves
You had to kil
l me, but it k
illed you just
the same
Cursing my nam
e, wishing I s
tayed
You turned int
o your worst f
ears
And you're t
ossing out bla
me, drunk on t
his pain,
Crossing out t
he good years
And you're
cursing my nam
e, wishing I s
tayed
Look at how my
tears ricoche
t
