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 :)

[Verse 1]

           
  We gather he

Weeping in a s

 deserve babe

  'Cause I lov

And you're the

  We gather st

't have it in

[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
